Common Questions

Residential Electrical FAQs

Common questions from Triangle homeowners about residential electrical services. Don’t see yours? Call us directly — we’re happy to help.
What voltage system should I choose for landscape lighting?
We typically recommend 12V low-voltage systems for landscape lighting because they are safer to install and maintain. These systems use a transformer to step down your home’s 120V power. Low-voltage wiring does not require conduit in most applications, which reduces installation costs. The fixtures are safer to handle and easier to relocate if you change your landscaping later.
We bury low-voltage landscape lighting wire at least 6 inches deep to protect it from shovels and garden tools. For 120V line-voltage circuits, we run UF-rated cable in trenches at least 12 inches deep, or 18 inches if not in conduit. We mark wire locations on your property diagram so you have a record for future landscaping projects.
Yes, we install motion sensor controls on security lights and can integrate them with your landscape lighting system. We position sensors to cover entry points like driveways and walkways while minimizing false triggers from animals or passing cars. You can adjust sensitivity and timer duration to match your preferences. Motion sensors add security while reducing energy use.
For most installations, we run a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit from your panel to handle the outdoor lighting load. This prevents overloading existing circuits and provides reliable power. We calculate the total wattage of all fixtures and transformers to size the circuit correctly. A dedicated circuit also makes it easier to control your outdoor lights independently.
We use silicone-filled wire nuts or heat-shrink connectors for all low-voltage splices to seal out moisture. Junction boxes have gasket seals and are mounted so water cannot pool inside. All 120V connections use weatherproof boxes with in-use covers rated for wet locations. We apply dielectric grease to plug connections to prevent corrosion from humidity and rain.

All 120V connections use weatherproof boxes with in-use covers rated for wet locations. We apply dielectric grease to plug connections to prevent corrosion from humidity and rain.
A basic landscape lighting system with 8 to 12 fixtures usually takes one full day to install. Larger properties with extensive lighting and multiple zones may require two or three days. We complete the electrical connections first, then position and aim each fixture after dark to ensure proper coverage and eliminate glare before finishing the installation.
