Signs your radon fan needs attention
Silence
No hum at the fan can mean it has stopped. Radon will climb again.
Noise
Rattling, grinding or a loud whine can mean a failing motor.
Even gauge
A U-shaped gauge with equal liquid levels can mean the fan is not pulling (EPA).
If you see any of these, call us. Then retest your home after the swap.
What a fan swap includes
Check first
We confirm the fan is the problem before swapping it, and look at the pipe, seals and gauge too.
Most swaps are quick.
New fan, new check
We install a fan sized for your system and confirm the gauge shows suction.
Retest
The test starts after the fan has run at least 24 hours (ANSI/AARST SGM-SF).

Why a dead fan is not a small problem
A system only works while the fan runs. The EPA says to retest at least every two years and to check that the system keeps working (EPA guidance). A fan failure can go unnoticed for months because radon has no smell or color.
If your system was installed years ago, it is worth a look. If you are unsure whether you have one, see radon system maintenance in Columbus Ohio.
Questions people ask us
How do I know my radon fan stopped?
You may hear no hum, and the gauge may show even levels. A new test is the real check.
Can you replace a fan someone else installed?
Usually yes. We check the system first and tell you what we find.
How long does a swap take?
Many are quick. A finished room or a long pipe can add time.
Do I need a new test after the swap?
Yes. Test after the new fan has run at least 24 hours (ANSI/AARST SGM-SF).
Is it safe to run a house without the fan?
Radon can rise again without it. Call us and test soon.
Do you handle fan electrical work?
We handle what the swap needs and tell you if a permit applies.
Fan acting up?
We swap it, check the gauge and retest.
