Question QUESTION: I read you response to interference. I found my HVAC to be the problem/a heat pump. Can I get a filter to block my household AC. The noise stops when I turn off the heat pump if it is running. Or could the AC wiring be defective making the field of interference?
Thanks for any advice.
ANSWER: Pat,
You have two choices depending on the TYPE of phone (cordless or standard) If the problem is wit a standard phone, You can buy a telephone line filter, if it's cordless the line filter may still help but i would suggest an A/C electric line filter. Both are available at most electronic shops.

QUESTION: I have both types of phones and tried a phone filter to no avail. I guess its the HVAC flter that is required. Does an electrician need to install it. Have some experience w/ 220.
Answer Pat,
Yes, have an electrician do the job. (he/she can also pin point where the problem lies. ie in your electric line, the hvac itself, or elsewhere. I really hope is a simple problem as electricians are quite expensive.
