[quote=fmacak;478205]Hi Rick, this is Frank Macak, I met you at the Upstate School of Training. I am just getting into the business and just want to say HI to all of you. I do have a question regarding the cannisters. I understand that there are 2 sizes 4" and 2" cannisters. I also understand that you need to use the 4" canisters. Do you know of any sources in the NYState ? Some guys were suggesting Accustar PA lab, but they are not licenced for NY, but the Accustar lab in MA is. Thanks

Personally I like Air-check I see they are certified but not with NYS you may want to call them and enlighten them on NYS new rant about NYS approved labs. I just think its NYS wanting more money.

Tom - and anyone else in the area -
I see you are in Albany. Join us at Kirkers Steal & Seafood House, second Wednesday of each month at 6:15 PM for the New York Capital Region Chapter Meeting.
The ability to network with fellow inspectors, participate in our monthly presentations, and gain InterNACHI CE credit is well worth the time. The members start getting there around 5:30 for networking and general conversation over a beverage, then we order off the menu. Business meeting while the Chef does his thing, after dinner is the presentation.
Call me if you need more info - 827 4852
Tom Valosin, President
NY Capital Region Chapter of InterNACHI

I looked on your website although I didn't see that you were. Will you
e-mail me a copy of your NYS certificate to [EMAIL="acchomeinsp@stny.rr.com"]acchomeinsp@stny.rr.com[/EMAIL]
so I can have it on file?

Tom,
All of the above is great info, you might want to weigh your options for method of testing: canister vs CRM (Continous Radon Monitor). Which would best fit your style. I personally chose to put the money out & invest in the CRM. After the test I get instant results via my laptop that includes hourly readout to print & view spikes, I can email that to my client the same day & I don't have to wait for results from the lab (usually only a couple of days.). This is the way I chose & works fine for me.
Good luck on whatever you choose.
T.J....
