It would depend on how comprehensive the original installation was. If it
were very basic, it might just be easier to start again if you want a
fairly sophisticated setup. But if it was well designed and installed
using quality materials, I'd certainly not expect it to *need* replacing.
The installation here is basically more than 30 years old done by myself.
But has been extended over the years, and a new CU fitted.
