Over more than 25 years in the industry, he has built a reputation for reliability, precise workmanship and straightforward communication. As an owner-led business, every job at Bitz carries direct accountability: the person whose name is on the business is responsible for the standard of every project.

Electrical Services for Homes and Businesses in Lower Plenty
Electricians Based in Lower Plenty
Bitz Electrical is a Lower Plenty business. Jonathan Bitzikopoulos and the team are based here, work here regularly and know this area well, the established family homes along the river corridor near the Plenty and Yarra junction, the renovated weatherboards close to the Lower Plenty Hotel and Heidelberg Golf Club, and the larger blocks further out with the longer cable runs and outbuildings that come with them.
That local presence makes a practical difference. Faster response times, genuine familiarity with the kinds of homes and electrical setups common to Lower Plenty, and a reputation built on work done right for neighbours and repeat clients in the area.
We assist Lower Plenty homeowners, landlords, builders and local businesses with the full range of residential and commercial electrical work: switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, LED downlights, powerpoints, smoke alarms, security cameras and CCTV, fault finding, renovations and more.
Many homes in Lower Plenty were built during an era when electrical systems were designed for far lighter loads. With today's air conditioning, home offices, smart appliances and electric vehicle charging, older switchboards and wiring can struggle to keep up. A switchboard assessment is often a sensible starting point, and something we carry out regularly throughout the area.
Lower Plenty also has more larger properties and standalone sheds, garages and outbuildings than most surrounding suburbs, often with longer runs from the street to the switchboard. We regularly handle sub-board installations, outdoor lighting and power for these larger blocks, work that's less common on a typical inner suburban job.
Our approach is consistent regardless of job size: a written quote before we start, no variations on the day, compliant workmanship and a site left safe and tidy.
