Test to confirm your level

Regional averages are moderate, but radon varies house to house. Health Canada recommends all Canadians test their homes.

  • 1Use a long-term test kit during heating season (October–April)
  • 2Place the detector away from drafts, windows, and exterior walls
  • 3If results are below 200 Bq/m³, retest every 2 years
  • 4If results exceed 200 Bq/m³, consult a C-NRPP certified mitigator

Order a long-term radon test kit

Health Canada recommends a minimum 3-month test during heating season. Long-term kits give a more accurate picture than short 2-day charcoal tests.
