We Practise What We Preach
Sustainability is not just something we install for our customers. It is how we run our entire business, every single day.
100% Electric Fleet
Every ALPS van on the road is fully electric. We run electric vehicles because we believe in the same technology we install for our customers. Zero tailpipe emissions on every job, every day.
Carbon Neutral Operations
From our office to every installation site, we track and offset our entire carbon footprint. The Checkatrade Sustainability Champion award validated this commitment at a national level.
Solar Powered HQ
Our base of operations runs on solar power and battery storage. We generate our own clean energy before recommending it to customers. We would never sell something we do not use ourselves.
Community Projects
From SARA Animal Sanctuary to local schools, we donate our time and expertise to community projects that benefit from clean energy. Our 47.82kW sanctuary installation was recognised with a national award.
The Sustainability Difference
When you choose ALPS Electrical, you are choosing a company that lives its values. Our electric fleet, solar-powered HQ, carbon neutral operations and community projects are not marketing — they are how we have always operated. The Checkatrade Sustainability Champion award simply recognised what our customers already knew.
