I've got the Summertime Blues. Power conditioner necessary?


With the AC and dehumidifiers running non stop, at times my modest system sounds like Schitt (I wish).
Any recommendations for power conditioners or other help that won't break the bank?

The cheapest and most well worn path is installing dedicated 20a lines to your system’s wpo’s using some higher quality 10 guage insulated wire back to ideally a dedicated subpanel with it’s own ground. So basically an isolated circuit from the rest of the house ...
If you're in the US, this is a violation of the NEC and it would be potentially dangerous anywhere. NEC requires all house grounds to be bonded together at the main service panel.

I have Furman units (model unknown) but notice that the readout sometimes goes into a low voltage situation, which it is unable to regulate. Have been seriously considering a PS regenerator unit ...
If your voltage is that low, I’d suggest determining the root cause of the problem. If you are in the U.S., your utility is regulated by the state, which sets the minimum performance standards under the tariff. That’s typically around 114VAC. A good start would be to measure the AC voltage at your service entrance, or close to it inside the breaker panel. That would rule out any issue between the service panel and your wall outlet.

I’ve actually had this experience, and frankly utilities are not always especially responsive to low voltage issues. But it’s worth being persistent.

Of course, it’s also possible that there’s something wrong with your Furman unit. You might be able to confirm that by checking voltage at the same outlet you’re using for the Furman.
