The Importance of Electric Fence Maintenance
Electric fences are popular among property owners due to their efficiency, effectiveness, and ease of use. They serve as a physical barrier, a psychological deterrent, and a means to control the movement of animals, ensuring their safety and protecting properties from unwanted intruders. However, like any other system, electric fences require regular maintenance to function optimally.
How To Tell If Your Electric Fence Needs Repairs
The fence is not working:
A faulty electric fence that is not working properly can often be traced to a power issue. This could be a faulty power supply or a problem with the fence’s energiser. If you notice that your fence isn’t working, our team can assess the voltage to determine and solve the problem.
The fence is not shocking:
One of the key functions of an electric fence is to deliver a deterrent shock. If this feature is no longer working, it could indicate a problem with the energiser or the grounding system. If the voltage is defective, our team can assess your system.
The fence is weak:
If your fence feels weak or wobbly, it could be a sign of physical damage or wear and tear. Regularly check your fence for any loose wires or posts that may need tightening or replacement and reach out to our team for maintenance as needed.
The fence is beeping:
A persistent beeping noise is often a sign of an internal issue with the system. This could interrupt the functionality of the fence, leading to potential security vulnerabilities. We recommend consulting with our professionals to diagnose the problem accurately.
Regular maintenance is key to preventing these issues and ensuring your electric fence is effective. Always prioritise safety when checking your fence, and do not hesitate to seek our professional assistance if needed.
We Comply With All Installation Regulations
The performance and longevity of an electric fence significantly depend on its maintenance. Regular repairs can prevent minor issues from escalating into significant problems that could result in system failure. For instance, overgrown vegetation touching the fence can drain power and reduce effectiveness. Similarly, broken wires, rusted parts, or a faulty energiser can compromise the entire system’s integrity.
Conducting At Home Inspections
Electric fences are an efficient and effective way to secure property boundaries. However, a regular maintenance schedule is essential to ensure optimal functionality. The frequency of maintenance can depend on various factors, such as the type of fence, the surrounding environment, and the fence’s purpose. However, as a general rule, a visual inspection of your electric fence should be conducted at least once a week. This inspection involves walking the fence length to check for signs of physical damage, sagging wires, or broken insulators.
Maintenance Considerations
Regular Inspection
A routine inspection is the first step towards effective maintenance. You should regularly walk along the fence line, checking for signs of wear and tear, loose wires, and damaged posts. Any unusual changes, such as sagging wires or signs of animal damage, should be noted and addressed promptly.
Vegetation Management
Vegetation touching the electric fence can ground the system, reducing its effectiveness. It’s crucial to clean any vegetation growing near the fence regularly. This task may need to be performed more frequently during warmer months when plant growth accelerates.
Energizer Maintenance
The energiser is the heart of your electric fence system. It should be kept clean and dry at all times. Its output voltage should be checked regularly using a voltage meter. If the voltage output is lower than expected, it may indicate a problem with the battery, terminals, or internal components.
Battery Care
If a battery powers your electric fence system, it’s essential to maintain it properly. The battery terminals should be kept clean and free from corrosion. Regularly check the battery charge level and recharge it as necessary.
