Instructions / Assembly
Follow the AFTER YOUR TEST instructions on the reverse side and
return your sealed test kit(s) to the lab for analysis as soon as
possible. The sooner we get it back, the more accurate your results.
Radon gas decays quickly, so no results can be provided if your
test kits take more than 12 days to arrive. For that reason, we
recommend one of the following delivery methods for return:
For the most accurate analysis, return your test kit(s) to arrive at our
third-party lab within 4 days of test completion.
Once we receive your sealed test kit, you can enter its serial number
at aprilaire.radon.com to check the status of your analysis.
If results show high levels of radon in your home, call the contractor
responsible for administering your test for next steps. If you
administered the test yourself and results show high levels of
radon in your home, contact your nearest AprilAire Certied Radon

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TEST FOR RADON?
You can test your home for radon gas any time of the year, as
long as you maintain the conditions listed under 'During Your Test'.

behind you.) Important: DO NOT test during severe weather (hard
rains, heavy snows, strong winds).
WHERE SHOULD THE TEST BE PLACED?
The U.S. EPA suggests testing the lowest level of your home used
on a regular basis, or that could be used by a potential buyer.

You can use string to hang it from a central ceiling light or ceiling
fan, or hang it on an interior, non-masonry wall at least 3 feet from
windows, doors, hallways, exterior walls, and heat/AC vents. Keep
out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources like stoves,
replaces, and baseboard heaters.

test for no more than 4 days.
See www.epa.gov/radon for EPA testing protocols.
