The shields should use power, but not a whole lot. Basically, enough that you can't run the lights or the equipment and the shields all at the same time.
Having to drop lights or turn off computers and door locks(!) makes using the shields a nice trade off
EDIT: Honestly, we need a lot more of this kinda stuff as for as power management goes: Having to divert stuff from one area to power up something in another. It's a classic sci-fi trope and makes for interesting game play as it gives antags a means of subversion in one place to get to another
