Electric Fencing
Electric fence is a cost-effective way to deter, detect or delay intruders from entering your property. High voltage shock, intruders will therefore have difficulties entering your premises. When the fence is being tampered with, the energizer will also sound an alarm and you will instantly be notified.
With extensive knowledge and experience with Nemtek products and electrical fencing , we also have experience with different types of fencing applications, professional installation or repair services.
Professional Electric Fence Repairs
An electric fence is only effective when every part of the system is operating correctly. A small fault can compromise the performance of your perimeter security.
Our electric fence repair service is designed to identify the cause of the problem and get your system operating correctly again.
We can assist with issues including:
Electric fence faults and alarm activation
Damaged or broken fence wires
Faulty or damaged energisers
Battery and backup-power issues
Broken insulators
Loose or damaged connections
Vegetation touching the fence
Fence sections damaged by weather or impact
Poor electrical continuity
Fence systems that are not delivering the expected performance
Electric Fence Keeps Beeping?
A continuously beeping electric fence is often an indication that something is wrong with the system.
Possible causes include damaged wires, vegetation touching the conductors, faulty components, low battery voltage or a break in the fence circuit.
Instead of repeatedly resetting the system, have the fence professionally inspected. Our technicians can investigate the fault and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
Common Electric Fence Problems We Repair
Fence Wire Damage
Fence wires can become damaged by weather, falling branches, animals, building work or accidental impact. Damaged sections can affect the entire system and should be repaired promptly.
Faulty Energiser
The energiser is one of the most important components of an electric fence. If it is malfunctioning, the fence may not provide the intended security or may repeatedly trigger an alarm.
Damaged Insulators
Insulators keep the electric fence conductors separated from the supporting structure. Cracked, broken or deteriorated insulators can cause electrical leakage and reduce system performance.
Vegetation & Short Circuits
Overgrown vegetation touching the fence can cause faults and unnecessary alarm activations. Removing the source of the fault and checking the system can help restore normal operation.
Battery & Power Problems
A failing backup battery or power-supply problem can affect the operation of an electric fence, particularly during power interruptions. We can assess the system and identify potential power-related faults.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my electric fence needs repairing?
Common warning signs include constant beeping, repeated alarm activations, visible wire damage, broken insulators, poor fence performance or a fence that stops operating correctly.
Why does my electric fence keep beeping?
An electric fence may beep because of a broken wire, vegetation touching the conductors, a damaged component, a low battery or another fault in the fence circuit. A professional inspection can identify the cause.
Can you repair an electric fence that was installed by another company?
Yes. An existing electric fence can be inspected to determine its condition and identify faults. Depending on the system and its components, repairs or replacement parts may be recommended.
Can a broken electric fence wire be repaired?
In many cases, damaged sections of electric fence wire can be repaired. The appropriate solution depends on the location and extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding fence.
How much does electric fence repair cost?
The cost depends on the type and extent of the fault. A damaged wire or insulator may require a relatively straightforward repair, while an energiser, battery or extensive perimeter fault may require additional work. An assessment can determine the required repairs.
How long does an electric fence repair take?
The time required depends on the problem and the size of the affected area. Some faults can be resolved quickly, while more extensive damage may require additional components or repair work.
Do you repair electric fence energisers?
A suspected faulty energiser can be assessed to determine whether the problem can be resolved through repair or whether replacement is more appropriate.
What causes an electric fence to stop working?
Possible causes include power failures, a faulty energiser, a flat or failing battery, broken wires, damaged insulators, vegetation touching the fence or faults elsewhere in the circuit.
Can vegetation cause electric fence problems?
Yes. Branches, grass and other vegetation touching the fence can cause electrical leakage, short circuits and false alarms. Keeping the area around the fence clear can help maintain proper operation.
Should I repair my electric fence myself?
Electric fencing contains electrical equipment and should be handled with care. Electrical faults and repairs should be assessed and carried out by a suitably qualified professional.
How often should an electric fence be serviced?
Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify issues before they become major faults. The required frequency depends on the type of system, its environment and the property’s conditions.
Can an electric fence still work during a power outage?
Systems equipped with an appropriate backup battery can continue operating during a power interruption. If your fence stops working during outages, the battery or backup-power system may need to be inspected.
Can you repair an electric fence that keeps triggering false alarms?
Yes. False alarms can have several causes, including vegetation, damaged wiring, faulty components or other electrical faults. Identifying the cause is the first step towards resolving the problem.
