When is Radon Fan Replacement needed in Lexington?
A fan replacement is generally necessary when the existing active radon system fan fails or stops working properly. Active radon systems that use a fan typically require replacement every 5 to 10 years. This fan operation can add $30 to $300 per year to your home’s energy bill.
