Residential Electric Fence Installation Considerations
Electric fences have become a common feature for perimeters all over South Africa. These fences serve a pivotal role by discharging a non-lethal yet uncomfortable shock to any person who dares to make contact with it. This unpleasant experience creates a powerful deterrent to discourage subsequent attempts to breach the boundary. Consequently, electric fences are formidable barriers that enhance the safety and integrity of the properties they encircle.
The widespread adoption of electric fences in South Africa can be attributed to their effectiveness in warding off potential intruders. We provide comprehensive residential electric fence installation to meet your property’s exact needs.

Understanding How Electric Fences Are Triggered
Electric fences deliver a shock through a pulse sent along the insulated wires. This pulse is generated by an energiser, which converts power into a high voltage. The pulse travels through the conductors and fills the fence with excess electrons, creating a charged barrier. Regular monitoring of voltage levels is essential to maintain the effectiveness of an electric fence.

Protect Your Residential Property From…

…invasion!
Electric fencing is an effective frontline defence against the invasion of residential properties, creating a visible and physical barrier that is challenging to breach. Unlike conventional fences, electric fencing deters potential intruders not just with its structure but also with a psychological deterrent – the fear of receiving an electric shock. This makes potential invaders think twice before attempting to infiltrate your property.

…wall jumpers!
Intruders pose a significant threat to residential properties as they can easily scale walls and bypass traditional security measures, putting homes at risk of burglary, vandalism, or personal attacks. Electric fencing is an effective and reliable solution to this problem as it delivers a non-lethal yet powerful shock upon contact, acting as a potent deterrent for would-be intruders.

…animal damage!
Animals can cause significant damage to residential properties, causing costly repairs and plenty of frustration for homeowners. Electric fencing is an effective solution to deter various animals from crossing your residential boundary walls without causing harm. It operates under the principle of aversion training, where the animals associate the unpleasant shock with your property and learn to avoid it in future.
