It appears to be a carrier-current device (a device that intentionally conducts signals onto power lines), which would have a limit on HF that would be approximately S9+10 dB to a Yagi located 30 meters from the wiring.   If this is being heard for 2 miles, radiated from house wiring, I can't imagine that it is legal.

They can and do cause interference to other HF use, such as shortwave broadcasting, WWV, but few hams are willing to initiate formal harmful interference complaints as a result.
