It may affect your energy bill but at a very minimal cost depending on the type of lighting that you have installed. If you used LED lighting that is considered to be energy efficient, an estimated $4 to $10 will be added to your bill on average per month.

Will the lighting fixtures be a disturbance to my neighbors in Monticello?

Landscape lighting is made to produce soft glow and is strategically angled to enhance the evening ambiance of your property. It is not flashy and will not affect the other surrounding properties.

How different is Monticello low voltage and high voltage from each other?

A low voltage system usually runs at 12 volts only, as compared to a typical line voltage system used to power homes that operate at 120 volts. Low voltage systems used in landscape lighting are safe and can be handled without any dangerous effect.

How deep should the Monticello landscaping lights be buried on the ground?

In landscape lighting, low voltage wires that run at 12 volts do not need to be buried more than 18 inches. You don't necessarily have to put it in a conduit like line wires because there is no danger of electrocution. In garden or lawn areas, low voltage cables are usually buried at a minimum of 6 inches thick. Just enough that they will not be damaged by exposure to air. If you are going to use them on flower beds, they don't have to be buried deep.
