my T.V is a 68cm 1976 model. my heater(Vulcan) is about 14 years old (1993 model) When the fan clicks in after the furnace is heated up, there is a brief bzzz sound from the fan? is the T.V and the fan in the heater nearly had it and why does this happen? Help!

what that is is called electrical noise it may aslo happen when you use the vacuum or microwave. a surge protector might fix that problem. or you could buy a cheap line conditioner from an electronics store the sales person will know what you need

You should have your furnace wiring/power supply on it's own DEDICATED CIRCUIT. I'd also suggest it might be time to clean all the accumulated lint, soot, dust, and other things that have attached themselves to your furnace over the years. Even though you may think it's still working fine, these cretians are slowing it down making it work harder and the buzz you hear is fan talk for "clean me."
It sounds like they are both sharing the same line and one is causing interference to the other.
If you love the T.V. and don't feel like getting that 52" Plasma this year and having stomach cramps thinking about rewiring the furnace on it's own seperate dedicated circut then the next way to skin that proverbial cat is to pick up an isolation transformer. This takes the 110 VAC IN and runs it through a couple of transformer coils and sends it back out at the same 110VAC but does it magnetically.
I'd try to explaing that one but we'd have to grab coffees and pull up chairs because we're gonna be here a while.
You might try taking the Electrician's Mate classes offered by the U.S. Navy but you know what that'd entail.
Or simply call the home repair specialist who can answer all your installation/ maintenence/ troubleshooting/ and repair questions from the foundation to the roof.
That's on Skype.

Your furnace fan motor is producing electrostatic interference. Probably a bad electrical connection either to or inside the motor. Call a heating contractor.

You can get a filter for the TV or, change the circuit like suggested. This is "bleed through" older sets can even pick up the lawn mower if it's running close enough to the house.

They're probably on the same breaker. Try moving TV elsewhere and see if that helps.
