Just as other appliances sold these days with a motor i.e. washing machines, dishwashers...  while digital control may add nice features, the noise generated can reduce operator pleasure (or operating hours).

Getting any manufacturer to routinely add filtering (even if under $1), won't happen without a lot of customer noise in return.  ;-)

Of late, the fans in these systems are speed controlled by PWM.  Nice high power square waves...

I didn’t know that an HVAC system would be an RFI generator.  What part of HVAC is the cause of this and is this a recent problem in manufacturing units?

Note — I have never lived in a home with AC — never had a need here in the northwest (Seattle area).  I probably should add that when we go to our condo on Kauai the first thing my wife does is to turn off the AC unit.
