About Electric Fence Installer
What an electric fence installer actually does
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.
Common reasons homeowners install one
People usually add electric fencing to keep dogs inside the yard, block stray animals, or protect a garden from wildlife. Perimeter security on a small lot is another frequent motive. Be clear about your goal, because the wire spacing, height, and number of strands change a lot between a pet loop and a security line. A clear goal avoids paying for features you do not need.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why a site visit matters before the price
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.
Posts, wire, and insulators explained
Posts are typically treated wood, steel T-posts, or fibreglass, set every 3 to 5 metres depending on terrain. High-tensile wire holds tension better than soft steel and resists sag over time. Insulators must match the post material; the wrong type lets current leak into the post and drains the energizer. Ask which brand and which UV rating the insulators carry.
Energizer placement and power options
The energizer should be mounted indoors or under cover, near a GFCI outlet, and within 10 to 15 feet of the fence start. For remote properties, a 12 volt battery unit or a solar panel kit works, but battery voltage drops in cold weather, so solar sizing matters. Ask the installer to size it to perimeter length, not just acreage.
Energizer sizing and power supply
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.
