Results to your cell and e-mails to all you want included.
Yearly calibration included (when they need it back for calibration you have a replacement before hand)
Results with in 30 minutes (usually) upon upload
I have less headaches this way.
Just my 1.25 cents

AirChek canisters cost about $7.50 each ($15.00 for one job). Envelope and postage is about $3.00. I sometimes make arrangements for the client or agent to pick them up after 48 hours and mail them in my postage paid envelopes...saves me a return trip.

Price: $125.00
Equipment cost: $0
Calibration costs: $0
Expenses: -$18.00
===============
Profit: $107.00


(No special requirements for radon in my state.)

prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”

15-20 if I were to guess an average. This is not acceptable as I always seem to have a monitor sitting at any given time. I could send one back but I done that twice and got burned both times not having a device for an emergency real transaction. Since I am a measurement technician technically working under Dallas Jones from Radalink I don't believe I am permitted to use charcoal cannisters with out hold a professional license. My prices have gone up to 110.00 equaling 1650-2200/mo. Very much a supplementary.

Oh yeah! Radon insurance add-on 150/yr

If you can't use charcoals, passive tests, you may be missing alot of work for assisted living facilities and schools, apartment complexes etc.
Air Chek, Inc. is legal in alot of states. We use a femto tech monitor but for a bunch of tests, we use Air Chek. we work under their business certification, Shawn Price is our measurement specialist. www.radon.com
(800) 247-2435 x-812.
Maybe you can do both.
