Energizers - 110v AC

Selecting the right energizer for you…


Fence energizers differ dramatically from each other just as tractors differ. If you buy whatever's handy, you are almost guaranteed to get neither the best value nor the one most suited to your situation and needs.

Factors to consider before buying:

  • Total length of fence line?
  • Species to be contained or deterred?
  • Climate--humid vs. dry vs. both?
  • Soil (clay, sand, rock or loam)?
  • Conductor (steel, twine, tape or rope?)
  • Permanent vs. temporary fence?
  • Expected green vegetation contact with the fence during its lifetime?
  • Power source--110 volt AC, battery or battery with solar?
  • What posts and fences exist now?
  • Subdivision, perimeter fence or both?
  • Safety. Will the public have access to the fence and/or energizer?
Every factor makes a difference. Sometimes the choice is simple. Sometimes it's complex. We suggest that you call Premier's 800 number to discuss your situation. We will not pressure you to buy an energizer from us. We will honestly tell you if your existing fence energizer is adequate. But if you call for advice, expect to be asked the questions listed above.

About Premier's unique 2-Year Warranty…


When you buy an energizer from Premier, you purchase more than an energizer. You also obtain these benefits:
  1. If an energizer fails within 2 years from the purchase, Premier will replace the module/unit at our cost (unless the reason for its failure is customer abuse or neglect).Your credit card will be charged for the replacement but you will receive full credit when the failed item is back at Premier. Your only cost is shipping the failed item to us. If the original energizer is over 2 years old, we will repair and/or replace it, but you pay for the repair cost and freight.
    Note: This policy doesn't apply to: 1. Failure due to abuse or neglect. 2. Patriot energizers. Their warranty(s) via TruTest is for 1 year. It covers lightning damage and defective parts or workmanship. Should a Patriot energizer fail, we will replace the unit, bill you for the cost to do so, then reimburse you after we have been able to examine the failed unit to determine the cause(s).

  2. Free next-day shipment of warranty replacements. A unit can be shipped by 2 p.m. Central Time to be received the next day. (Calls on Friday after 2 p.m. will ship Monday.) If you think your energizer has failed, call us at 1-800-282-6631. We'll help you test your energizer to ensure that it has truly failed. (About 25% of the units we receive back work fine. The fence was at fault instead of the energizer.)
    Note: Patriot and Gallagher energizers are exceptions to this. We'll ship their replacement to you by the same rapid service but you must pay for the cost to do so. Why the difference? Our mark-up on these 2 brands is lower.
  3. Free technical support from our experts. We will provide free advice and support both before you purchase an energizer or fence and afterwards for as long as you wish our help. This applies to energizer repair issues also. If you are not sure how to replace a module, our people will "walk" you step-by-step through the process via the phone.
  4. Solar energizer packages.With larger energizers (over 1 joule), the panel, battery and energizer need to be correctly sized for each situation. We will do this for you at no cost if you call us. (You can then order them online if you wish to save shipping costs!)
  5. Five-year assurance against energizer obsolescence. Premier's "contract" with our customers includes repair or replacement of any non-working units for up to 5 years whether the unit is "obsolete" or not. Who pays for us to do this in years 2 to 5 of the energizer depends upon the applicable warranty.

PLEASE READ!


In 1991 an accidental fatality occurred when a young child's head contacted an electrified fence while the child was crawling on wet grass. The fence was correctly installed and functioning properly. The energizer was a UL approved unit. As a result Premier strongly cautions to keep young children away from electrified fences. Also, due to this incident and others, experts now suggest that human contact by an energized wire to the head and neck may be the most dangerous point of contact. We urge all to avoid doing so.
