[Elecraft] OT Antenna location concern

I recently installed a Mitsubishi mini-split system and now have an
antenna concern. I am about to install a new dipole that will pass
within ten feet of one of the interior units (that would be measured
through the wall). I already know that the system has produced no
interference to any reception - however, I am concerned about how being
close to a transmitting antenna will effect or not effect the
unit/system. The antenna's location will meet safe human exposure limits
for the bands/power used - 160/75/40.
I am assured by the installer that RF is not a problem and not to be
concerned - of course that is not in writing. Attempts to email and call
Mitsubishi have not been informative. Hence my question:
Has anyone had difficulties with the control systems of their HVAC
systems caused by RF from a nearby transmitting antenna? I run the
KPA500 all the time - so consider this a 600 Watt station.
Thanks,
