Electric fencing is an excellent solution for securing properties, farms, and livestock in Kenya. However, improper installation can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and compromised security. In this blog, we’ll highlight the common electric fence installation mistakes and explain how you can avoid them with the help of Moffam Electricals, Kenya’s trusted electric fence experts.
1. Poor Site Survey and Planning
One of the most common mistakes is failing to conduct a proper site survey before installation. This can result in the fence being installed in unsuitable locations, leading to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities.
How to Avoid: Work with professionals like Moffam Electricals who conduct thorough site assessments to identify potential challenges and design the most effective fencing solution.
2. Using Low-Quality Materials
Choosing substandard materials to save costs may seem tempting, but it often results in frequent breakdowns and higher long-term expenses.
How to Avoid: Moffam Electricals only uses high-quality materials, from durable fence posts and insulated wires to reliable energizers that withstand Kenya’s weather conditions.
3. Incorrect Energizer Installation
The energizer is the heart of an electric fence system. Incorrect installation or using an underpowered energizer can compromise the fence’s performance.
How to Avoid: Trust Moffam Electricals to select and install the right energizer based on your fence’s size and security requirements.
4. Improper Grounding
An electric fence requires proper grounding to function effectively. Inadequate grounding can result in weak or inconsistent shocks, making the fence less effective.
How to Avoid: Professionals like Moffam Electricals ensure proper grounding using high-quality ground rods and expert techniques to maximize the system’s performance.
5. Neglecting Maintenance
Even the best-installed electric fences need regular maintenance to perform optimally. Neglecting maintenance can lead to issues such as vegetation interference or worn-out components.
How to Avoid: Schedule regular maintenance with Moffam Electricals. Their team provides comprehensive maintenance services, ensuring your fence remains in top condition.
6. Incorrect Wire Tension
Wires that are too loose or too tight can affect the fence’s effectiveness and longevity. Loose wires may sag, while overly tight wires can break under pressure.
How to Avoid: Moffam Electricals uses advanced tools and techniques to achieve the perfect wire tension for optimal performance and durability.
7. Poor Vegetation Management
Allowing vegetation to grow near the fence can cause short circuits, reducing the effectiveness of the electric pulses.
How to Avoid: Moffam Electricals advises and assists clients in clearing vegetation around the fence line and provides tips for ongoing maintenance.
8. DIY Installation Without Expertise
While DIY installation may seem cost-effective, it often leads to mistakes that compromise the fence’s functionality and security.
How to Avoid: Always hire professionals like Moffam Electricals. Their experienced team ensures your fence is installed correctly and meets your specific needs.
