[RFI] Lennox brand HVAC RFI experience

[Jeff Blaine]

We are looking at a replacement HVAC and these items are proposed for 
the install.  I'm paranoid about the RFI noise profile out of modern 
HVAC systems and would be interested in any comments.

The Lennox P/N recommended are:

Merit series - ML14XC1$-042 compressor 14 SEER

Elite series - EL280UH090E488 dual-speed (2-stage?) furnace 80%

The installer is aware of the Lennox 604552-01 kit which includes a 
differential filter and a snap-on toroid.  I've made it clear that the 
single snap-on toroid is likly and that a multi-turn type 31 would be 
used in lieu if needed.  Which would not have a warranty issue as the 
HVAC guy and I share a common electrician who has vouched for the safety 
of this "mod."  And we have discussed that similar (multi-turn toroid) 
treatment may be added to the thermostat line as well.

Appreciate any advice on other guys who may have experience with Lennox 
gear in general, or these families in particular.
