What a homeowner can safely check
A homeowner can perform a basic check on a noisy radon fan. However, fan replacement or wiring work is best handled by a trained professional. This is because the fan operates continuously and the entire system requires verification after any repair.
When to call a pro for radon fan noise problem
Call a professional if the fan is rattling or noisy. The system must be verified after repair, which requires specialized knowledge. If you are unsure about the cause of the noise, a professional can ensure the system remains compliant and effective.
The importance of professional verification
A professional ensures the radon mitigation system is properly functioning after a repair. The system must be verified to confirm it is operating correctly. This verification is critical because the fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously.
What to do next
- First, test your home to see if indoor radon levels are 4 pCi/L or higher, as recommended by the EPA.
- Verify that any contractor is licensed by the state and certified (NRPP/NRSB).
- Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before any work begins.
- Get a quote for a fan replacement, noting that only the fan is usually replaced, not the entire pipe route.
