My tankless has been running RFI quiet for years, with no issues. Of course I have now doomed it to failure by saying this... I do flush it every two years...

Wow what a mistake!  The system won't run when it is windy or humid.  After the 
initial warranty, he has had to pay for replacement controller, sensors, fans, 
etc.

Any cost savings on energy have been 10x over-run with service and maintenance costs, 
plus the discomfort when the thing is in one of several "protect" modes ( too 
windy or too humid to operate ).

Also, a "tank-less hot water system".  Worked great at first, but the system 
soon limed up which was not covered by warranty.  The system cost three times what a 
conventional hot water heater would cost.

All this high tech stuff isn't always what it is cracked up to be!

I’m getting ready to purchase a new Trane HVAC system for my house, and I want make sure 
I’m not going to be introducing any nasty RFI.  I’ve been quoted for the XT95 single 
stage furnace and for the S9V2 variable speed furnace, along with an XR16 heat pump (a duel fuel 
system).  From reading the archives, it looks like many (most?) RFI problems have come from the 
variable speed units.  Does anybody have any RFI experience - either way - with the Trane XT95/XR16 
system?

Thanks and 73,
    Rob  K4OV
