Ask for a written warranty on the energizer (often 2 to 5 years) and a separate labour warranty on the installation, usually 12 months. Request the energizer model, joule rating, ground rod layout, and a simple voltage reading at the furthest point. Store these details with your paperwork so any future repair starts with facts instead of guesswork.
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 simple single-line pet loop around a standard yard takes a crew of 2 about 4 to 6 hours. A multi-strand perimeter on uneven ground can stretch over 2 days. Delays usually come from hard soil, root systems, or hidden utilities. Ask the installer for a realistic window and what conditions would push the job to a second day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The biggest cost drivers are total wire length, number of strands, post material, and energizer brand. Rocky ground, sloped terrain, or long driveway crossings add labour hours. Gates, warning signs, and a backup battery also bump the total. A written quote should list each item so you can compare offers line by line instead of guessing at the bottom number.
