>>"If you want it to sound even better, have the electrician run an Isolated ground, that consists of a dedicated Ground wire not connected to your water pipe, or your fuse pannel, but have it run outside to a copper rod, that is burried in the ground."<<

Thats a no no and dangerous to boot....A good way to fry his equipment in a lightning storm.
And what if for some reason a piece of his equipment were to have a leak or short to the case. One of the main reasons for an equipment ground is to carry any fault current back to the source and if the current flowing in the equipment grounding conductor is large enough it will cause the overcurrent device, breaker or fuse, to open. By running the equipment grounds to a separate outside ground rod and not connecting this isolated grounding system back to the main electrical grounding system, any fault current will have to flow through the earth and reinter either his house's grounding electrode system or the house next door's grounding electrical system to return to the source, the utility transformer. By the way the current flow will take the least resistive path back to the source. The earth is never to be used as a fault current carring path back to the source. Depending on soil moisture the current will be limited returning back to the source, resistance. If the resistance is large enough the current flow may not be large enough to open the overcurrent device.....
That is also how to electrocute an animal or person who may be walking outside on wet grass near the ground rod if there is a fault.
