Electrical Contracltor, Master Electrican, fully insured.
"Great after talking to Mr Collins he suggested it was a GFI outlet issue. I didn't think there were any in the basement of my 100 yo house. He said he's come out after work. After we hung up I started checking and sure enough the whole string of outlets is on a several GFIs. I never noticed they were GFIs because they are all beige instead of red/black like the others. This call saved me a lot time and money. I've waited 4 weeks for an appt from another company. Guess from now on I'll now be using Collins Electric!"

With routine upkeep, you can count on an electric fence to last 20 years or more. Livestock learn to avoid the shock quickly, but harsh weather, predator activity, and neglected maintenance can shorten that lifespan. Inspect posts, wires, and chargers regularly and promptly address any necessary repairs to maintain your fence in optimal condition.
Yes—if you need a quick, budget-friendly barrier, an electric fence is often worth the investment. Electric fences use fewer materials than wood or chain link, go up faster, and are easy to expand. Just remember: the system depends on steady power and regular checks, so factor those ongoing costs into your decision.
Electric fences do have limits. They need a constant power source, can injure people or animals if installed incorrectly, and require consistent training. Some animals, such as sheep, goats, and some dogs, take more coaching than cattle. Severe weather or outages can also knock the system offline, so keep a backup plan ready.
Electric fences require power to operate and depend on a constant electrical supply for proper function. They are powered by either a battery or an electrical outlet. A stable power source is essential because weather extremes or outages can interrupt the operation of the fence, making regular testing and maintenance vital to ensure continuous containment.
Electric fences use a defined amount of power, drawing between four and 25 watts from a standard electrical source. This low power consumption makes the system extremely energy efficient, with operating costs remaining below $5 per month for an average-sized yard. The efficient usage ensures that the fence delivers a reliable shock without imposing high energy expenses.
