WHY TEST FOR RADON?
Why Every Halifax Home Needs Professional Radon Testing
Radon testing is the only way to know if your Halifax home has dangerous radon levels. This invisible, odourless radioactive gas seeps through foundation cracks, floor drains, and construction joints—accumulating to hazardous concentrations without any warning signs. Wondering about radon testing cost in Halifax? We break down pricing and what to expect.
Halifax's unique geology—glacial deposits over uranium-bearing bedrock—makes our region particularly susceptible to elevated radon levels. Health Canada recommends that every home be tested, regardless of age, construction type, or neighbourhood. Your neighbour’s low radon reading doesn’t guarantee yours will be safe. If radon testing reveals elevated levels in your home, installing a professional radon mitigation system in Halifax is the most effective way to reduce radon exposure.

OUR TESTING SERVICES
Halifax Radon Testing Services: Short-Term & Long-Term Options
Choose the radon test that fits your needs—from quick screenings to comprehensive long-term monitoring for the most accurate results.
Short-Term Radon Screening
Our short-term radon screening provides a professionally documented snapshot of your home’s radon levels during the test period using the C-NRPP-listed RD200P RadonEye Pro. Because radon levels fluctuate, Health Canada recommends a long-term test of at least 91 days when making mitigation decisions.
IDEAL FOR:
Real estate transactions & home inspections
Initial radon assessment for concerned homeowners
Preliminary screening for new builds, followed by long-term testing after occupancy
Post-mitigation verification testing
Radon Shield Continuous Monitoring
$299+HST
Our Radon Shield long-term monitoring package, powered by EcoGuard, continuously tracks your radon levels while building the 91-day long-term average recommended for mitigation decisions. Monthly reports are delivered directly to your phone, and Ventilation Kings receives alerts if levels rise above 100 Bq/m³ or indicate that your mitigation system may not be performing as expected.
INCLUDES:
EcoGuard Monitor Included: An EcoGuard continuous radon monitor is installed and configured in your home as part of your active monitoring subscription.
Professional Placement and Setup: We select the appropriate monitoring location, connect the EcoGuard and confirm that it is reporting correctly.
Monthly Reports: Receive an easy-to-understand radon report directly on your phone every month.
Professional Alert Monitoring: Ventilation Kings receives an alert if your radon levels rise above 100 Bq/m³, allowing us to review the data and contact you if further investigation is recommended.
91-Day Certified Professional Review: A C-NRPP-certified professional reviews your completed long-term average and provides clear recommendations based on your results.
First Year Included: Your initial package includes EcoGuard, professional setup, monthly reports, alert monitoring and professional support for the first 12 months.
Annual Renewal: Renew for $159+HST per year to keep EcoGuard in your home and continue receiving monthly reports, professional alert monitoring, ongoing support, and one annual radon mitigation system checkup. That works out to only $13.33 per month, billed annually.
The EcoGuard monitor remains in your home while your monitoring subscription is active. If the subscription is cancelled or not renewed, the monitor must be returned to Ventilation Kings. The annual system checkup is included for homes with an eligible radon mitigation system. Repairs, replacement parts and corrective work are not included unless covered by the Ventilation Kings warranty.
Important: Short-term radon screenings provide a snapshot of current levels and should not be the sole basis for mitigation decisions. Radon fluctuates daily and seasonally. For accurate assessment and mitigation planning, Health Canada recommends long-term testing of at least 91 days during the heating season.

INDUSTRY-LEADING TECHNOLOGY
Professional Radon Testing with Detailed Digital Reporting
Ventilation Kings uses the RD200P RadonEye Pro, a professional-grade electronic radon monitor listed by C-NRPP. The monitor records radon concentrations throughout the measurement period, allowing us to identify changes and provide a detailed digital report of the results.
Short-term professional measurements provide valuable information about radon conditions during the test period. Your report gives you the critical information needed to protect your Halifax home and determine the appropriate next steps.
Because radon levels fluctuate daily and seasonally, short-term results do not estimate a home’s annual average radon concentration. For decisions about whether mitigation is required, Health Canada recommends a long-term radon test lasting at least 91 days, ideally with at least 91 days occurring during the heating season.
