ELECTRIC FENCE COC · CARLSWALD ESTATE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming during a maintenance-provider change?+
Keep reporting the current warning to estate management. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the installation; a handover should not leave an active report waiting for someone to reconstruct old correspondence.
Can the new contractor simply issue an electric fence compliance certificate?+
The required inspection and tests must be completed and passed. Existing documents help explain the installation but do not replace assessment of its current condition.
Must all equipment be replaced when the contractor changes?+
Ask for a condition-based explanation of any proposed replacement. Components may be retained where appropriate after assessment; the provider change itself does not identify a technical defect.
Can a resident provide missing repair history?+
Useful observations or copies of relevant reports can be passed to management. Keep the owner-authorised instruction and technical records coordinated through the responsible contact.
What belongs in the completed maintenance handover?+
Keep the findings, completed and outstanding work, equipment information and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Identify the next responsible contact so future reports reach the right person.
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.
