what ever you do. you need to tie your new grounding system to your existing system yu do not want any stray voltages wondering around.
Look into a whole house TVSS they work great Mine covers AC power, cable tv and old school phone ( now with VOIP oh well)
This is usually for a commercial application were the Fire Marshall is asking for a fan cut off switch when the line voltage smokes go off. You should be able to pick up a UL Listed fan cut off relay or switch depending on who you are talking to. Its straight forward to install.
As an electrical inspector, Wareagle is correct. What inspectors usually ask for is GFCI protection on bathrooms and outdoor receptacles and the kitchen circuts, also GFCI protection on the old Two wire plugs (the ones with out the ground plug)and Smoke and Co Detectors, Basically anything that...
