"Joe knows radon.  He put in a system on short notice in my two story colonial with full basement.  I shopped around to two other Radon contractors and his was either the lowest or close to it, but he was also the first that I could schedule.  FYI: He said the overall cost was less because there was an existing sump pit.  We scheduled for the morning and I gave him access to the house.  By the time I got to the house at 11am he was done and gone with only the odor of fresh caulking, PVC pipes, and the muffled whirl of a fan.  The installation was professional with an acrylic custom cover cut to fit over the sump pit to keep debris out.  Plenty of signage and meters on the installed equipment indicating fan circuit, basically informing me and any future owner, "Do not shut this Off".  The radon reading in the basement was 25.4.  Joe was confident that once the system was in, it was going to be less than 1 (less than 4 is safe per EPA rules).  we tested three days later, and the official reading was 0.9.  Looking at the quality of work, I'd use him for any other venting related needs in this or future house.
He has an "F" grade from someone who complained about something not working after three months and he was going to charge a labor fee.  This is just my 2 cents, but don't think that was fair, as he does give you a 7 year warranty.  He warrants equipment for 7 years and will replace out equipment but there is a labor charge.  This is clearly spelled out in his contract.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

Radon detection is crucial as prolonged exposure to radon gas, a leading cause of lung cancer, poses significant health risks in residential environments.
