Are there regulations that my electric fence must comply with?

All electric fencing need to meet specific regulations set out by South African Electric Fence Installers Association (SAEFIA). Before hiring an installer in Harding, make sure that they have been accredited by the association. This will confirm that they are a reputable business who understands the technical and legal guidelines for installing electric fencing.

What happens if a non-accredited business installs my electric fence?

1.Damage or accidents might not be acknowledged by insurance. Imagine an instance where a tree falls over and damages your electric fencing. If the fence was not installed by an accredited professional, insurance probably won’t pay out for the damages. 2.You risk facing legal action. If your fence is not accredited and someone gets shocked by it, they will have the right to take legal action. It will not matter if the person was an intruder or someone who touched the electric fence by mistake.

Who issues the electric fence certificate of compliance?

In South Africa, the electric fence certificate of compliance is issued by SAEIFA. All electric fencing installation companies in Harding are required to register with this association.

Is it safe to have an electric fence?

Yes, having electric fencing is safe if it has been installed correctly. The voltage current of an electric fence is not strong enough to severely injure a person or kill them. However, touching the fence will result in a very unpleasant experience. This prevents intruders from being able to easily jump over your wall and enter your property.

Can electric fences kill pets?

No. Most pets will instinctually avoid the electric fence, especially if they have touched it at least one time. Nevertheless, the current is not strong enough to kill them. They will generally experience the same level of discomfort as a human touching the fence.

Can the fence be linked to my security system?

Yes. You can link electric fencing to an alarm response system. They are usually connected to the alarm system using a radio transmitter. A reputable electric fencing contractor in Harding should be able to make the connection. However, you might be required to upgrade your alarm system.

Will having electric fencing significantly increase my electricity bill?

Once you have installed an electric fence, be prepared for an increase in your electricity bill. However, the increase shouldn’t be too significant. On average, you can expect to pay approximately R40 more per month. You can also save money by turning off your electric fence during the day.

What happens to my electric fence during load shedding?

These days, most electric fences will have a backup battery that lasts up to 24 hours. This means that your fence should be operational during load shedding and you won’t have to worry about security in Harding.
