Q: Is a radon mitigation system expensive to run?

• <div><p>The fan that pulls the radon out of the air needs to run continuously, so you may see an increase in your electric bill once you install the mitigation system. Additionally, you may see an increase in your heating or cooling bills, as the fan can cause some loss of hot or cool air.</p></div>

Q: What level of radon is considered safe or dangerous?

• <div><p>No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove radon from your home?

• <div><p>You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won&rsquo;t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.</p></div>

Q: How long can you go without a radon fan?

• <div><p>Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.</p></div>

Q: Can I install my own radon mitigation system?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-homeowners-install-radon-mitigation-systems.htm">homeowner can install a radon mitigation system</a> on their own. But it&rsquo;s a challenging DIY that requires a lot of knowledge about radon mitigation as well as familiarity with local regulations. You do not want to risk an improper installation that leaves the system unable to detect radon or gives it a shortened life span. Relying on a professional is the surest way to guarantee a successful installation.</p></div>

These technicians did a great job. The conditions were challenging but they soldiered through and got the job done in short order. The air conditioning system is up and running and cooling like it’s supposed to. Many thanks to Rob and John!
