Any time of the year is an acceptable time to test for radon. However, during the winter months, warm air inside a house draws cooler air into the home from below, often bringing radon gas with it. While radon may be present year round, it is more likely to be elevated from October to March when the weather is cooler.
When should you test for radon in your home?
EPA RECOMMENDS: If you are buying or selling a home, have it tested for radon. For a new home, ask if radon-resistant construction features were used and if the home has been tested. Fix the home if the radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.
What are the symptoms of radon in your home?
- Persistent cough.
- Hoarseness.
- Wheezing.
- Shortness of breath.
- Coughing up blood.
- Chest pain.
- Frequent infections like bronchitis and pneumonia.
- Loss of appetite.
