And one must remember that most folks will spend the least amount of
money necessary to get the HVAC system working or perhaps install a new
system. And most of these folks have no clue about RFI, but are only
concerned if their abode is hot or cold, warm or comfortable.
As a purchasing manager I know once said "that's the best part we can
buy for under a nickel".

You must remember that the parts that go in much of this equipment is
supplied by the lowest bidder.
Realistically when you see the number of active hams who buy AC products
vs the number sold you will realize it a very uphill battle. Very noisy
led bulbs have been sold for how long? They are a known source too.
When price is the major factor quality always suffer. You can't have
both.

its only a few pennies it will be left out. I was in the service
business and owned a business for over 25 years doing installations. I
was never asked about RF noise by a customer. Ever. I did however ask
factory reps questions and most looked at me with deer in the
headlight faces. I have been out of the business for ten years and
suspect that the situation has not improved and perhaps gotten much
worse.

It was a conscious decision to ignore this by the government because
it fit in with the energy saving mandates. Its a case of the squeaky
wheel getting greased. When price is the major factor quality always
suffer. You can't have both.
