Hard wired power conditioners?

I am putting together an HT setup in my basement. We plan to have an electrician visit our home for unrelated electrical work. As long as I am having an electrician out I thought I would ask whether there is anything I should ask the electrician to do to improve my power supply. Currently, I have a 4 outlet plug in a circuit with other light fixtures and other electrical appliances on a 15 amp circuit breaker. Would anyone recommend pulling a new wire from the breaker box to a new outlet panel to serve my HT equipment? Also, is there a hard wired type power conditioner or surge protector I should use to improve the power supply and protect my equipment from power surges?

Your help would be greatly appreciated for a newbie, aspiring audiophile.

A company named "Tributaries" makes IC and speaker cable and also AC wire (audiophile grade, heavy and round). I purchased a 25` lenght and called an electritian who used it to run a new AC line from my main box, to a PS outlet, it feeds my ARC 120 monoblocks and subwoofer amp. with a Shunyata 4. Nothing else is on the line.
Great results, nice and quiet.
Don`t forget to go one more step with good quality AC cords.
