ELECTRIC FENCE COC · HONEY HILL
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Can an electric fence compliance certificate enquiry be arranged while the owner is away?+
Yes, provided appropriate authority and access are arranged. Supply the available records and identify who may instruct repairs. Any necessary assessment or work still needs completion before certification can be finalised.
Who keeps the electric fence certificate of compliance when guests use the property?+
The responsible owner or manager should retain it with the installation records. Guests should have normal operating information and a clear contact for faults, without being expected to manage technical documents or repair decisions.
Is your electric fence alarming while a caretaker is staying there?+
Ask them to stay clear and describe what they noticed. Provide the technician with the owner’s equipment information separately. Do not ask the caretaker to touch wires, open equipment or walk the perimeter to trigger the symptom again.
Should visitors be given detailed troubleshooting instructions?+
Give them the normal operating information appropriate to the installation and a way to report concerns. Technical checks and repairs belong with the professional; visitors should not have to investigate unfamiliar electrical equipment.
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.
