SAFE HOMESElectric Fence Maintenance
Electric fences degrade quietly. Regular inspections keep voltage up, wires tight and the alarm working, so the barrier does what it should.
Get the scope right before work starts.
Wires slacken, insulators crack, earth connections corrode and vegetation grows into the line. A planned inspection finds these issues early, before the fence fails or begins raising false alarms.
We inspect the full perimeter, test the energiser and alarm, and report what needs attention.
- Wire tension and condition around the whole perimeter
- Insulators, corner and gate points
- Energiser output and battery backup
- Earthing condition and connections
- Warning signs, vegetation and alarm testing
Include these details
- Brand of energiser and approximate fence length
- When it was last serviced
- Any recent faults or false alarms
- Home or business property
- Suburb and photos of the fence line
How often should an electric fence be inspected?
At least annually, and more often if vegetation growth or false alarms are a problem.
Do warning signs matter?
Yes. Visible warning signs are an important part of a properly installed electric fence.
Can maintenance reduce false alarms?
Often, by clearing vegetation and correcting loose wires or poor earthing.
