Electric Fence Not Working? Here's What We Check

A fence with zero output is rarely one single thing gone wrong. We check the energizer, wiring loop, earthing and battery in order to isolate the actual fault.

We Check the Whole Loop, Not Just One Point

Electric fences fail as a system — the energizer, the wire loop, the earthing, and the backup battery all have to work together. We test each in sequence rather than guessing.

Diagnostic Checklist

What We Check First

The order we typically check when a fence has completely stopped.

Energizer Output

Confirming the energizer itself is producing a pulse.

Wire Loop Continuity

Checking for breaks anywhere along the conductor loop.

Earthing System

Poor earthing is one of the most common causes of total failure.

Backup Battery

Confirming the battery is holding charge if mains power is out.

Vegetation Contact

Overgrown vegetation shorting the fence to ground.

Connections & Terminations

Loose or corroded connection points along the fence.

FAQ

Common Questions

How quickly can a total fence failure usually be fixed?

It depends on the cause — an energizer or connection fault is often fixed same-visit; a full rewire takes longer to quote and schedule.

Can you fix a fence installed by another company?

In most cases yes — we assess the energizer, wiring and earthing before confirming what can be done.

Is a completely dead fence always the energizer?

No — earthing faults and wire breaks are just as common. We test to confirm rather than assume.

Do you also check the battery backup?

Yes, battery condition is part of the standard diagnostic checklist for a non-working fence.
