SAFE HOMESElectric Fence Repairs in Cape Town
A fence that is not energising, keeps alarming or reads low voltage is not protecting the boundary. We trace the fault through the energiser, wiring, insulators and earth.
Get the scope right before work starts.
Common electric fence faults include vegetation touching the wires, broken or shorted wires, damaged insulators, a failing energiser or poor earthing. Finding a fault along a long perimeter takes a methodical approach.
Electrical installation work in South Africa is regulated. Ask us to confirm what compliance documentation applies to your job and who will provide it before work starts.
- Energiser operation, output and battery backup
- Wire condition, joins and tension along the run
- Insulators, standoffs and corner points
- Earthing system condition
- Vegetation, damage and alarm or siren connections
Include these details
- Brand of energiser, if known
- What the fence or alarm is doing
- Whether the problem began after weather, pruning or load shedding
- Fence length and whether it is on a wall or free-standing
- Suburb and photos of the energiser and fence
Why is my fence showing low voltage?
Vegetation, a short, damaged insulators or a weak energiser or earth can all reduce voltage. A test along the line finds the cause.
Why does my fence alarm keep going off?
Touching vegetation, animals, loose wires or a fault can trigger alarms. We investigate the cause rather than only silencing it.
Is it safe to touch a faulty fence?
No. Keep people and pets away and have the system checked.
