About Home Owner Diagnostic Tools

Measure radon levels with a short term test kit or continuous radon monitor. Short term charcoal canisters are the most common. The EPA recommends using a charcoal test kit every two years to ensure the radon level in your home is below actionable levels. Digital radon monitors are becoming more prevalent, some–like the EcoQube–have a companion smartphone app to measure radon levels. Professional grade tools are not cost effective when you’re only doing a single radon system. Using hCRMs and smoke bottles to measure your pressure field are about the best you can do.

Read up on why professional fan sizing often pays for itself over the life of your system here. Search out local NRPP certified pros and ask them if they do “PFE testing” specifically.
