A good electric fencing company will do four things before quoting: visit the site, walk the wall or fence, propose specific strands and energiser sizing, and give you an itemised price. [Qyvea Limited](https://qyvea.co.ke/) is a Nairobi-based security and IT integration company, and the following is the same standard we hold ourselves to — use it to assess any electric fencing company you are considering. Questions to ask ## Ten questions to ask any electric fencing company 1. Will you visit the site before quoting, or is this a phone estimate? 2. How many strands do you propose, and why that number for this wall or fence? 3. What energiser size are you using, and what is its pulse output? 4. Is the energiser compliant with the safe-energy standard for electric fences? 5. How will the fence be earthed, and how will you test the earthing? 6. Will the fence integrate with an alarm, siren or CCTV system? 7. Are warning signs included, and where will they be placed? 8. What warranty covers the energiser, the wires and the workmanship? 9. Do you offer maintenance after installation, or only installations? 10. Can I speak to a recent client with a similar property? Red flags ## Red flags to avoid - Quotes given without ever seeing the wall or fence - Lump-sum prices with no breakdown of energiser, wire, brackets or labour - Undersized energiser for a long perimeter, which will show voltage at the supply but weak voltage at the far end - No warning signs proposed, or signs sold as an extra - Fence wires not properly insulated, so they short on the wall or wet vegetation - "The best price in Nairobi" claims with no credentials shown - Payment demanded in full before work begins - No physical office or verifiable company registration - Warranty "verbal" and not in writing - No after-sales contact — you are expected to find them if the fence fails What good looks like ## What a professional electric fence installation includes - Physical site survey of the wall, fence or roof line to be protected - Itemised quote — energiser, wire, brackets, insulators, earthing, labour - Energiser sized for the perimeter length, not just the smallest unit available - Stainless steel or high-tensile wire on proper insulators, correctly tensioned - Dedicated earth rod(s) installed and tested — the fence is only as strong as its earth - Warning signage fitted at intervals, per the safety standard - Integration with the alarm system or CCTV where the client wants it - Full fence voltage test at the far end, not just at the energiser - Written handover covering how to arm, disarm and test the fence - Maintenance option for the years after installation Safety ## Why voltage and signage matter An electric fence in Kenya is designed to shock, but not injure. The energiser delivers short, high-voltage pulses with very low energy, within a safe limit for people and animals. An installer who ignores the standard, uses an unapproved energiser, or skips the warning signage is not just cutting corners — they are putting the property owner at risk of liability if someone is hurt. Voltage should be tested at the far end of the fence, not just at the energiser, because resistance along the wire reduces the shock delivered. A properly earthed and properly sized fence will read close to the energiser's rated voltage along the entire length. FAQ ## Common questions How do I choose an electric fencing company in Kenya? Ask for a physical site survey before quoting, itemised pricing, a written scope, warranty terms on energiser and wires, and references from similar sites. Avoid anyone who quotes over WhatsApp without seeing the wall or fence. What is the legal voltage for an electric fence in Kenya? Electric fences in Kenya follow safety standards limiting the pulse energy delivered to the fence to a safe level for humans and animals, even though the voltage displayed is high. A professional installer uses an energiser that meets the standard and warns the fence correctly. Should an electric fence have a warning sign? Yes. Every property line electric fence should carry warning signage at intervals, especially along public roads and neighbouring plots. Signs are part of the safety requirement and a professional installer includes them. What does a professional electric fence installation include? Site survey, energiser sizing, brackets and insulators, wiring, earthing, warning signage, integration with alarm or CCTV, testing of the full fence, and a handover covering how to arm and disarm the fence. How much does electric fence installation cost in Kenya? Cost depends on wall or fence length, number of strands, energiser size, whether alarm integration is included, and whether new mounting work is needed.
