HELP I think I have an electrical issue??


A few months ago I had 2 20amp dedicated lines with hospital grade duplex's installed. All was well with my Bel Canto Ref1000 mono's. Well a few days ago I just got a pair of Genesis m60 tube amps. I was noticing a clicking noise coming through my speakers. I first noticed this when I was just warming up the amps with no source on. Then I also noticed the clicking when a source was on with music playing.

So it turns out that the clicking noise is my electric ignition of my gas furnace, is somehow playing through my speakers (Or maybe its just one of them, not exactly sure yet) This is a very strange and annoying. If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Ngjockey,
A word of caution for Tim.... Any tampering/modifying of the furnace wiring could void his manufactures warranty.
In most cases the manufacture only warrants the parts. The labor is picked up by the Heating/air conditioning mechanical contractor. It may also release the manufacture of any responsibility to solve the problem.

I would not touch the furnace at this time until Tim has exhausted all avenues for the manufacture/mech contractor to solve the problem. Any line filter device installed at the furnace should be installed by the Mech contractor or his electrician/contractor.

This still sounds like a faulty ground or miss aliened igniter. I have always had tube equipment as part of my setup. I have never had this problem. Please post the maker of your furnace, Model and Serial Numbers also Style number if available. Carrier & Bryant use style numbers, they are important. Email them if you like. I will call the manufacturer and find out how to repair and or lookup service bulletins if available. I will send you what ever I get but do not try to repair it yourself.
WARNING: Gas furnaces can be very dangerous and should only be repaired by a qualified tech. A furnace is NOT a do it yourself product.
So I dug up my receipt. Here is whats on it.
Ruud UGPN-05EAUER Achiever Upfloe/Horiztonal 50,000BTU 80% Gas Furnace

Thanks again to everyone helping out!
I wasn't serious about Tim digging into this himself. We know the tech won't have any kind of line filter in his truck and it's not likely stocked at the local distributor's either and might have no idea where to look. Unusual stuff, espescially for residential. Tim is more likely to get a shrug and "call somebody else" than a solution, if it does get complex.

I'm pathologically not serious. I'm not being serious right now, seriously.
Well I talked with one of thier service tech an he said this happened to a friend of his that has a home theater also.
He said his friends unit was on the same feed as the power for the home theater so they changed that around so it was not. Then he (this may be an electrical code issue in your area)install at ground rod at the unit and ground it to that instead of the ground to the box. That took care of it. Call an electicain in you area and ask him to make sure your furnace and your sound system is on differant 110 feeds from the 208/230 coming in your house. You could also ask him if he can install a grounding rod. He will know if it is allowed in your area. Ruud factory service around here is Granite Group tel.# 978-458-3200 they were very helpful. They should be able to give you your local reps number. They were not easy to find. No wonder I don't see thier units very often around here.
Tell them mikie sent you. LOL

Other than seeing your system. this is all I can do.
If you have the means I will be happy to come to your location unless you live in the Boston MA. area then I'm around the corner.
