Default Radon Testing Equipment

Does anyone have a good source for radon testing equipment?

Charcoal test kits are an inexpensive way to get into the market. The money is the same as any other testing method and you don't have to worry about your equipment being stolen. www.radon.com

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

2. next best: Radalink / their website

3. Bottom: Sun Nuclear / on the web


Using Femto Tech monitors with Air Chek for reports for Real Estate.
for schools and assisted living facilities use charcoals from Air Chek.
Run from Pro Lab is my 2 cents.

Eric - What kind of company are you? What do you want to portray to your client? I would be upset if you used the same thing I can get at Home Depot. Doug Wall is very experienced at Radon testing and does many of them. Why? He is on time, looks professional and USES PROFESSIONAL Equipment. I prefer Radalink AIR CATS...they use blue tooth and you can get the results within minutes they actually send a text to your cell phone. As far as I know its the latest technology.

So it depends, do you want to make the fast buck now...or pay some money and look professional in the hopes to be different than your competition? Anyone can use freaking Charcoal Canasters...to me it makes you look cheap. Thats just my opinion. I have always said that if you spare no expense at pleasing the customer...you will never have to worry about how to pay for it...

I have been using Sun Nuclear Electronic Radon monitoring system. They run around $550, every time I have compared it to a mitigation companies results it has been spot on.
