About Electric Fence Installer
Most common reason homeowners hire one
Pet containment is the top reason, usually for dogs that test fences. Second is deterring wildlife, like deer, raccoons, or stray animals from gardens or trash areas. A third, often overlooked reason is protecting pools, since local codes may require a barrier around water features. Tell the installer which problem matters most, because wire height and spacing depend on it.
Grounding, the step that fixes most problems
Most weak fences trace back to poor grounding, not weak energizers. A standard residential install needs 3 ground rods, 6 to 8 feet long, spaced 10 feet apart, driven into damp soil. Dry, sandy, or rocky soil may need more rods. Ask the installer to test ground resistance with a meter and aim for under 25 ohms.
What often goes wrong after the install
Vegetation touching the wire drains voltage fast. Keep grass and vines trimmed 6 inches away on both sides. Loose wire tension at corners, cracked insulators in sun, and rodent damage to underground cable are common. A quick monthly walk with a fault finder or a blinking light at the energizer catches most issues before the fence stops working.
Permits and rules to check before work starts
Local codes often limit fence height, require the wire to face inward, or ban energizers near public walkways. Some areas require a visible warning sign every 10 metres. Your installer should know the rules in your district, but you can save time by calling the building department yourself and asking about setbacks, easements, and any homeowner association limits that apply.
Grounding: the part most people forget
A weak ground system is the top cause of underperforming fences. Installers usually drive 2 or 3 galvanized rods 1.8 to 2.4 metres apart, deep enough to reach moist soil. Dry climates may need extra rods or a damp bedding around them. Ask to see the ground rods during the walk-through so you understand what a proper install looks like.
What often goes wrong after install
Vegetation touching the wire is the most common complaint and slowly drains the energizer. Broken insulators, loose wire tension after temperature swings, and corroded ground rods also cause weak shocks. Schedule a seasonal check that includes clearing growth under the line and retightening wire at corners. A quick 30-minute visit once or twice a year prevents most service calls.
Questions to ask before signing the quote
Ask who pulls the permit and who calls the utility locator before digging. Ask the exact energizer brand, output joules, and whether it carries a 1, 2, or 3 year warranty. Ask how many strands of wire or tape, post spacing in feet, and the gauge of the wire. If the installer cannot answer those clearly, keep looking for another one.
Gates, corners, and the usual weak spots
Gates need a proper tension spring or handle that transfers the pulse, plus an underground jumper wire so the gate stays live when open. Corners and ends take the most pull, so use braced H posts or angled stays, not just a plain post. Insulators crack at corners first, so use heavy duty corner insulators rated for the wire tension.
What paperwork to keep on file
Save the energizer model and serial number, the warranty card, the test voltage reading at the far end of the fence, and the ground resistance value the installer measured. Keep the as built sketch showing post spacing, gate locations, and where the underground cable runs. That sketch saves hours later when you need a repair or a new owner takes over.
How installers measure your property
A site visit usually includes measuring the perimeter, counting corners and gates, and noting soil type for the ground rods. Soft, dry, or sandy soil needs more ground rods than clay. Expect the installer to walk the line with you, mark post positions, and flag underground utilities before any digging starts. This step prevents broken pipes and a cancelled job halfway through.
