ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ELDO RIDGE ESTATE
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming while you are away?+
Ask the resident to report the indication without testing the wires. Wesslink can discuss electric fence fault finding, authorised access and how the findings will reach you.
Can a caretaker authorise replacement equipment?+
Give a clear instruction about who may approve repairs and costs. Do not leave that decision to a person whose only role is providing access.
Can I request an electric fence compliance certificate remotely?+
Yes, discuss the required inspection and tests, access and any correction approval. Certification still depends on a compliant result for the assessed installation.
What if I cannot answer during the inspection?+
Agree that possibility beforehand. Ask how findings will be delivered and what further approval or attendance may be needed before additional work proceeds.
Who should keep the electric fence certificate of compliance?+
Keep it with the property’s installation and completed-work records. Arrange appropriate copies for the owner or responsible manager and relevant operating information for the resident.
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.
