I believe that the new electronic ballasts and any appliance using switching power supplies, almost none of which meet meet FCC Class B RFI/EMI emissions specs for residential applications, could pose future problems.
I have a state of the art, high efficiency gas fired hot water boiler that uses a SPS to drive an induced draft blower that feeds back boco line conducted RFI into my AC system, screwing up most entertainment devices, but especially AM radio. Mfg. says they have only designed for commercial, Class A apps. I finely put a cheap line filter on the AC input to the boiler, solving the problem, at least for what I'm currently running. If possible always filter at the niose source!
