geoffkait Come on Geoff...you really believe what you just said above? You can’t tell "anything" about a system by knowing what components comprise it, or by seeing pics of the components and how the system is configured or about the physical spac...

geoff,That was addressed earlier in this thread. If memory serves, the post mentioned treating virtually every electrical connection in the house including service circuit breakers.  The claim was made that the collective improvement in all of tho...

@kalali  You beat me to it!  I was going to respond to George much as you did above that my anecdotal understanding of passive units is that the PRAT as the Brits like to call it, is diminished.  I'm not making a categorical statement here, just t...
