Kelly,
When Richard Perez and I were doing measurements on EMF fields with 
our homemade Gaussmeters years ago, we found the largest source of 
EMF came from the inverter/Battery cables. Makes sense as there is 
some heavy amperage switching going on. Twisting the cables together 
helped some, but the best cure was distance. At a bit over six feet 
away from the cables, we were almost at background readings. The 
moral of that story is: Don't put the inverter under the bed, or if 
you must-put it at the foot rather than the head.
Allan S. is correct for the ac wiring as well. Twisting the 
conductors-but not the ground wire helped. Putting the whole shebang 
in EMT or metal flex really did the job.
