Suburbs or not, there's no telling how the power the utility serves up will sound at any given moment, but a Master Electrician is likely to have followed best practices with respect to routing and connections, which will absolutely enable one to make the most of whatever's served up. You can start with the sub-panel. A purist will have searched high and low to find a sub-panel with separate neutral and ground busses, and wires will be routed accordingly in that panel, and grounds and neutrals will not be joined before the main panel and main ground bus. This is very important for keeping the noise down as low as can be, whatever that means, since the main ground itself is another matter. There will be no aluminum wire in the house, and any aluminum bus connections will be well buttered with dielectric grease. A superfreak will find and use copper busses. All circuits will be clearly labeled, and there will be no "bootleg" connections. Throughout the house, all outlets will be of the "screw terminal" variety, with no "push-in" type outlets to be found. Wire bundles will be twisted and folded, not wadded and stuffed into boxes.
