How long do electric fences last?

This is one of the most common questions we get. With professional installation and maintenance, the system can last 10 to 15 years. In coastal areas, using stainless steel wires is recommended to prevent premature rust and corrosion. This is worth noting for Cape Town homeowners.

What happens to my electric fence during a power outage?

A Kandua professional installation must include a battery backup. This keeps the fence fully powered for several hours during load shedding.

What should homeowners know about: can an electric fence be connected to a security company?

Most modern energisers are designed to link directly to your alarm system for armed response monitoring. Yes.

Is it advisable to install an electric fence on my own?

In South Africa, it is illegal for an unaccredited person to install an electric fence. No. You must use a professional who can issue a legal Certificate of Compliance (COC).

How often should an electric fence be serviced for Cape Town homeowners?

A Kandua professional inspection and service is recommended at least once a year to check the battery, wiring, and overall system health.
