Always read and follow your manuals that come with the radio, engine and any other piece of electronics. Do range checks often and always following replacing something electrical or flying at a different site. It seems like a lot of work but still less then building a new airplane. It may not increase reliability but I like to make my installs a clean as possible, just a couple examples.
