Invest in your family's safety - Electric fencing

 11 years ago

One has only to look at the daily news articles available locally to understand and realize that the personal safety of yourself and your family is constantly under imminent threat, thanks to the perpetually rising crime rate within our beloved country. So what are your options? Pack up and relocate overseas to a relatively safer country? While that option may sound good on paper, realistically it’s not as simple as that. One cannot just up and leave, especially if you’ve lived in a particular area all your life. You have long-established friendships and relationships which could potentially be harmed, even severed, upon a sudden relocation. Not only in your own personal capacity; but if you have family members whom you are responsible for, the effects of a relocation will extend and affect your loved ones too.

Whilst a home alarm system may offer some form of protection – or should we rather say, peace of mind – you are still at the mercy of the responsiveness of the private security firm hired, as well as the SAPS (and we’ve all read stories somewhere along the line about how “prompt” they can be). What further measures are there to take to further protect yourself and your family? Investing in a firearm? Consider the fact that, should you fire upon an intruder and claim self-defence during the court case, the chances of the criminal receiving the benefit of the law are much higher than yours as the shooter. That’s not to mention that a live-ammunition firearm in the house, if not properly guarded, could lend itself to unfortunate domestic accidents – especially if there are young children in the house. So what more can you do to protect yourself and your family? What are your options?

As the old adage goes, it’s better to be proactive, than reactive. Based on this saying, it would be in your best interests to consider the innumerable advantages to utilizing a full electric fence system. In terms of an effective security solution, electric fencing is probably one of the more underrated (yet highly effective) options available in the market today.

Despite the immediate visual impact that a professionally-installed electric fence gives (often discouraging would-be intruders from venturing any further) you also have the invaluable peace of mind that you’ve got up to 10,000 volts of electricity fighting in your corner, ensuring your family’s safety. Not even the most hardened criminal enjoys an electrical shock, least of all that intimidating level of currency! Taking into account Eskom’s reputation of rolling blackouts when you least expect it, you will still be able to rest assured that with a full battery backup system your home won’t be vulnerable to any form of attack from enterprising thieves looking to benefit from the power outages, thanks to the electric fence maintaining its charge for between 6-8 hours. Now you have the confidence of knowing that all intruders will be kept out of your property at all times, with no leeway being afforded to them for an attempted entry!

In terms of after-sales service and backup, you will be pleased to know that the Live Wire Energiser units comes standard with a full 24 month warranty, and all components on the electric fence, as well as the workmanship carries a full 12 month guarantee. As an effective security solution an electric fence becomes the increasingly wise choice to make. Invest in your family’s safety; invest in a Live Wire security solution today.
