ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CARENVALE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can an electric fence compliance certificate inspection include an older repaired fence?+
Yes. Explain the repair history and arrange access to the installation. Its current condition and any necessary work need assessment; the age or appearance of one replacement part is not enough to settle the result.
Should the electric fence certificate of compliance identify the fence after repairs?+
Keep the relevant certificate and completed-work description together so the installation assessed is clear. Ask about any further inspection or documentation needed after the agreed work.
Is your electric fence alarming near a patched section?+
Report the location and symptoms without touching the patch. Mention what work was done and when, if known. The technician can assess that concern alongside the rest of the relevant installation.
Can I buy matching fittings before the visit?+
Ask for an assessment first. A part that looks similar may not be the appropriate repair, and supporting or connection work may also need attention. Agree the proposed components after the installation has been considered.
Who can issue an electric fence certificate of compliance?+
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Will the inspection fee include repairs?+
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
