If the product is used at home, shouldn't it carry a sticker saying 
that complies with FCC Part 15 as a Class B device? Does it have 
that sticker?  

If the manufacturer won't fix the RFI, it might be worth calling the 
FCC and asking about compliance. Or telling the manufacturer that 
your next call will be to the FCC. You might also let the mfr know 
that the interference their equipment is causing is the topic of 
discussion on the internet, and that some prospective purchasers are 
losing interest in Trane products. 

BTW -- there's a fair chance that if this thing is wiping out Ch 2-
6, it is probably also doing damage on 6 meters and the FM broadcast 
band. It's also possible that 10 meters and 2 meters could be 
affected.
