for example, when my fridge or central heating come on / go off, it causes interference with my TV aerial, why is that? Do I have something wrong with my property's ring main?

The above answer is correct, but I suspect that you have an indoor aerial as well which means you will have a poor signal to noise ratio, try moving the aerial a bit, or better still put up an external one with a well screened downlead and that will cure it.

That sounds like the ballast on a florescent lamp - which incorporate the compact ones designed to be screwed right into a often occurring socket. You did no longer say what style of heating you have, yet while it is steam, examine the purge valve on the radiator. people right here reported checking electric and plumbing circuits that should bypass around the room - and you need to. in case you have an oil-fired furnace, you need to, basically by skill of a few fluke, be getting a vibration from the intake line (which I pay attention in my homestead in many situations interior the front room - whether it would not worry me) which will properly be fixed with a rubber damper interior the line. experience the partitions and ceiling along with your arms and notice wether or no longer you could experience any vibration. in case you could, you desire to to purpose and run countless screws into the exterior to cancel out the vibration you felt (conscious of electric wires and plumbing). My wager is it boils right down to a vibration interior the partitions or ceiling that's manifesting itself interior the particularly audible severe pitched sound you're speaking approximately. If all else fails, hire a chippie to look over the room. you at the instant are not loopy, one among those factor occurs each as quickly as inawhile...

No, it is because the fridge is on the same ring main as the television. When a house is wired today, the kithen is always on its own circuit.
All that is happening is when the fridge motor switches off, the magnetic field around it collapses causing a spike which affects your tv ariel.
Look in Argos at sockets for computers, plug fridge in and that should cure it.

Yup, agree with the first two answers. Get an extension lead with surge supression from Argos or comet etc. and use that to feed your telly.
