One thing you could do to minimize RFI and electrical noise is to 
put all your electrical wiring in steel conduit. It adds a bit to 
the cost of construction, but it's money well spent. When I bought 
my former home in Chicago, I rewired it and put everything in steel 
(EMT). My antennas were all within 20 ft of my office and my A/V 
gear. I had no interference to any of that gear at 100 watts, and 
was able to tame RFI with ferrites on the audio cables when I ran 
1.5kW. I was able to do that because the power wiring was not part 
of the receiving antenna system for the stereo rig. :)
