What breaks gates in San Antonio

Outside the loop, most gates here are solar, and most solar faults are batteries. Ranch and acreage entrances sit too far from a building to trench power economically, so they run on a panel and a battery. That battery is a consumable, and Texas heat shortens its life considerably.

Inside the metro the picture is more conventional: gated subdivisions, community entrances and driveway gates on mains power, where heat degradation of capacitors and control boards is the recurring theme.

Ranch gates need a different visit

A gate a quarter mile from the house on solar power is a different job from a suburban driveway gate. Access, buried cable runs, wildlife damage and battery systems all feature, and a technician arriving without solar test equipment cannot diagnose it. Tell us it is a ranch or acreage gate when you call.

Common questions

San Antonio gate repair questions

My ranch gate works in the morning and not in the evening.
Battery at end of life. It holds enough charge for light daytime loads and collapses under motor current later in the day. One of the cheapest repairs there is.
How long do solar gate batteries last in Texas heat?
Three to five years, at the shorter end in sustained summer heat. Budget for it as a consumable rather than treating it as a failure.
Something chewed through my gate wiring.
Common on acreage. Rodents and livestock both do it. Conduit and armored cable on the exposed runs prevent recurrence, and it is worth doing at the same time as the repair.
Do you cover Boerne and the Hill Country?
Yes, including Fair Oaks Ranch, Bulverde and out toward New Braunfels.
Can you add solar to an existing mains gate?
Usually, and it is worth considering where the buried cable run has become unreliable rather than replacing the cable.

Ranch gate or metro driveway?
