ELECTRIC FENCE COC · WIERDA PARK
Questions before you book.
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Is your electric fence alarming as well as making an unusual sound?+
Report both symptoms and the equipment message. Keep people clear of the affected area and request an assessment rather than trying to silence or reproduce the warning yourself.
Can a recording identify the faulty part?+
It may help describe what you heard, but the installation needs an appropriate assessment. Do not buy an energiser or other parts on the strength of a recording alone.
Can I request an electric fence compliance certificate during the visit?+
Mention certification when booking so the required inspection and tests can be planned. Correcting the reported sound alone does not establish that the complete installation has passed.
Should a community group arrange the repair?+
A community report can alert the owner. The person responsible for the particular installation should authorise technical work; shared equipment must go through its responsible manager.
What should I keep after the fault is corrected?+
Retain the findings, completed repairs and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Note whether the original symptom has returned so a follow-up enquiry includes the earlier work.
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.
