Another thing you might consider, unless it's already taken care of, is to
make sure all power conduits and signaling conduits are running parallel to
each other. I have a problem with that in my (relatively new built) house.
Here they are far apart and make up a large frame antenna with the result
that close by lighting induce large voltages between the 120 V receptacles
and the phone receptacles, something no surge procetor in this world can do
anything about. I have to put a surge protector at every telephone, TV,
radio etc.
Don't repeat my mistake.
As the phone, cable and utility is entering the house at about the same
place it would have been a (rather) easy thing to have had all cables to run
in parallel minimizing the area between them. That would have saved a few of
my telephones and TVs before I added all these surge protectors (in my
case from Walmart).
Just remember, you should not (and I think you are not even allowed) to
put the phone and 120V wires in the same conduit. If nothing else you could
get sever crosstalk and a lot of noise on your phone line.
