ELECTRIC FENCE COC · RASLOUW
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming despite regular maintenance visits?+
Provide the latest alert details and the previous work records. Electric fence fault finding can investigate the actual symptom and consider the repair history. Do not accept repeated resetting as an explanation of the underlying problem.
How often should an electric fence be serviced?+
Ask for advice based on the equipment, surroundings and inspected condition. A useful recommendation explains what to monitor and maintain rather than imposing the same interval on every installation.
Can several small repairs be quoted together?+
Ask for the relevant sections to be inspected and the findings explained. Grouping justified corrections may be practical, but the quotation should still identify the work and any outstanding items.
Does a maintenance visit include an electric fence compliance certificate?+
Confirm the agreed deliverables. Routine maintenance and certification are not automatically the same booking; certification requires the relevant inspection and tests and a compliant result.
What information helps with the next inspection?+
Keep the repair dates, locations and completed-work descriptions with any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Note later alterations so the technician can relate earlier records to the present installation.
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.
