A small shop often needs lighting, point-of-sale equipment, refrigeration or other specialist loads. Planning first helps reduce last-minute changes.
List equipment and locations
Record the appliances you expect to use, their locations and the relevant specifications. Share this list with the electrician before finalising the layout.
Plan lighting and access
Think about customer areas, work areas, emergency access and maintenance. Use fittings suited to the environment and installation conditions.
Keep a clear record
Ask for an itemised quotation and retain invoices, product information and any applicable installation documentation for future maintenance.
The final design and circuit sizing should be assessed by a qualified professional for the actual premises and applicable requirements.
