Electric Fence Canada offers a range of high-quality, cost effective fence systems for all livestock and wildlife control needs. These systems include a fence controller (energizer), conductor, posts and insulators. The energizer produces a current pulse at a specific frequency that is transferred from conductor to post and back again, providing a shock when animals or people come into contact with the conductor. Insulators prevent electrical short circuits by blocking electrons from passing through the fence and into the ground. The insulator is also a critical component for preventing lightning strikes to the energizer.Resource: https://fencefast.ca/collections/all-in-one-kits

Electric Fence Canada: Choosing the Right System for Your Needs

Electrified fences are more costly than traditional fencing because they require more materials and labor to install. The size of the area being fenced determines the amount of materials and labour required and will affect the total project costs. An experienced electrician or fencing contractor can reduce installation time and ensure the fence is safe and functional. Hiring a professional will also reduce your risk of injury and may save you money in the long run.

Regular maintenance is critical for an effective electric fence. This includes testing the energizer, ground system and fence line to make sure all components are working properly. A good test to use is a simple screwdriver with an insulated handle. Touch a screwdriver to the metal part of the fence and another metal element of your property (such as the gate hinge). If you see and feel a spark, the fence is live.
