Nicholasville sits just south of Lexington, so homeowners here draw on the same pool of Kentucky-certified radon mitigation contractors serving the Lexington area. Radon testing is especially worthwhile for homes with basements, where radon levels tend to run higher. The Kentucky state radon office in Frankfort (502-782-2782) is the local resource for verifying certified professionals. Typical mitigation systems in the region cost $1,200 to $3,000.
What drives the cost of basement radon mitigation near Lexington?
Most Lexington-area systems fall between $1,200 and $3,000, depending on the basement layout and the type of system installed. Active systems with a fan draw 100 to 300 watts continuously. Expect the fan to add roughly $30 to $300 per year to your energy bill.
