An installer visits your home, maps the perimeter, marks post positions, drives or sets posts, runs wire or tape, mounts insulators, places the energizer, and grounds the system. They also connect a warning sign at every gate and access point, then test voltage end to end. Plan on one to two crew members on site for half a day to a full day, depending on length and terrain.
Linear footage is the largest driver. After that, post type matters: wood posts cost less than fiberglass or driven steel. Number of strands, gate count, and energizer output joules also move the number. Heavy brush clearing, rock drilling, or long underground runs to reach power can each add hours, so ask which line item covers those.
Energizer size is measured in joules, not volts, and the rule of thumb is about 1 joule per kilometre of single-wire fence under normal conditions. Heavy vegetation, long runs, or multi-strand setups need more. Battery and solar units suit remote lines, but plug-in models are cheaper and easier to service. Confirm the energizer has a built-in lightning diverter.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Corners take the most tension and need braced H-posts or concrete-set wood posts. Gates need a buried cable, a wireless gate link, or a spring-loaded handle that keeps current continuous when the gate opens. Without that link, the fence goes dead every time you walk through. Verify each access point on the plan before the crew starts digging.
An installer needs to see slope, soil type, vegetation, and access for a post driver. Clay, rocky ground, or thick roots change labor time and equipment. They also need to locate the power source, usually an outdoor outlet within 50 feet of the energizer. Ask for a written, line item quote after the walkthrough, not a phone guess.
