Description
An electric fence that isn't sending pulses doesn't protect anything, even if it looks installed. Over time, branches and grass touch the wires and drain the line, insulators crack in the sun, wires loosen or rust from the salt air, and the grounding loses contact. Often the owner doesn't find out until the alarm stops sounding or the energizer shows low voltage.
During maintenance we measure the line voltage with a proper fence tester at several points along the run, track down leaks and fix them. We replace damaged insulators, tighten or replace sections of wire, check the tension springs, the energizer's backup battery and the siren, and test the grounding. We also make sure the warning signs are visible along the fence.
A legal electric fence works with high-voltage, low-energy pulses designed to deter, carries warning signs and must never be connected directly to mains power. If we find an unsafe installation, we explain the issue and propose how to correct it.

Frequently asked questions
My fence alarm goes off by itself. Why?
It's almost always a leak, such as a branch touching the wire, a broken insulator or a loose wire. We track it down during the visit.
How often should the fence be inspected?
It's a good idea to check it several times a year and always after trimming trees or after a storm, especially if there are trees nearby.
