Stop HVAC Communication Errors with Shielded Cable
September 20, 2026
Using shielded cable on those runs eliminates a lot of these weird faults. If a rewire isn’t an option, bundle all unused conductors together and ground them on one side only (never both — that creates a ground loop and can make noise worse). Same rule applies to the shield itself: ground it on one side, not two.
Good, tight connections matter just as much — no double-lugging, no sketchy pigtails. Get these basics right up front and you’ll save yourself a callback down the road.
