Shop fit-outs & electrical work in Melbourne — practical, safe, and ready for business
Industrial electrical work for Shops done right
Opening or refitting a shop in Melbourne? The electrical side is the backbone of a great fit-out. At Ziesing Electrical we do fit-outs that keep your space safe, legal and built to sell — neat lighting, reliable power for coffee machines / fridges / POS, data & security cabling, and a switchboard that won’t let you down.
Why the right electrician matters
Electrical work in Victoria must be done by a licensed person who follows state rules and issues the right paperwork. That protects your lease, your staff and your customers — and it reduces the risk of faults or fire.
What we do for shop fit-outs (easy list)
- Plan power and circuits for your equipment (fridges, ovens, pumps, coffee machines, heavy appliances).
- Install retail lighting: track, downlights, feature lighting and dimmers so products look great.
- Fit safety switches (RCDs), upgrade switchboards and add extra circuits when needed.
- Install emergency and exit lighting to meet building rules and keep staff safe.
- Signage power and timers for external lights and illuminated signs.
- Provide Certificates of Electrical Safety and compliance paperwork for handover. Energy Safe Victoria+1
Lighting: make it sell and save
Good lighting helps sell products and creates atmosphere — but it shouldn’t blow out your running costs. Switching to commercial-grade LED lighting gives much of the benefit: better product presentation, longer life and lower energy use than old halogen or incandescent fittings. There are also energy programs and standards that support efficient lighting choices for businesses. Energy.gov.au+1
Practical tips before you sign a lease or start a fit-out
- Check the tenancy’s electrical capacity and where metering sits — surprises here cost time and money. maxxvolt.com.au
- Think about future needs (EV chargers, extra coolrooms, more lights) and plan spare circuits now.
- Include snugs for data & comms close to your POS and back-of-house.
- Get a licensed electrician to quote specifically for shop fit-outs — not a generic home job.
