Repair Electric Fences

It goes without saying that not just anyone can decide over night that they are going to repair electric fences. Many home owners try to fix their electric fences when they break down or don’t work properly and only end up causing more damage to the system and with it, an additional expense. If you want to ensure that your electric fence is fully operational 100% of the time then you are going to have to insist that a professional team installs it for you and that they also handle any repairs and maintenance tasks that need to be carried out thereafter. 

There are many reasons why you might need the assistance of a professional team to assist with the repair of electric fences on your property.  Common faults and problems that lead people to believe that their electric fence needs to be repaired, includes the growth of vegetation around the fence. Sometimes trees and bushes touch the live wires of the fence and cause the fence to alert of access to the premises. Sometimes if the property is large – it can be hard to locate where the branch is touching. If you have an electric fence installed, keep the vegetation cut back and clear of the fence.  

Another common problem with electric fences is that of the insulators not being maintained. If these become cracked and weathered they will be exposed to the elements and allow for cumulative leakage. This can cause the fence to set off the alarm when no one has gained access to or touched the fence. Repairs to electric fences with this particular problem are essential if you want to have peace of mind with regards to the real safety and security of your property.

Faulty energisers can also cause an electric fence to malfunction. Energisers usually sustain damage after or during an electrical or lightening storming. Making sure that your electric fence’s energizers are always fully functional is a great way to maintain your fence.
