What should I do today if the fan stopped?

EPA says a working mitigation fan should run continuously, so do not leave it off while waiting for repair. Check the manometer first, since a fan that has stopped shows a change in the pressure reading. Then contact a local pro for diagnostics and ask about same-day availability.

Why does a silent fan matter?

A silent fan means the system is no longer pulling radon from under the house. Radon levels can climb right away. EPA says a failing fan should be repaired and the home tested again.

What should I check when hiring a pro?

Kentucky law says no person or business may conduct radon mitigation without proper certification. Verify the contractor is certified by the state's radon program. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts.

How long does a radon fan last?

EPA says radon fans may last five years or more. Manufacturer warranties tend not to exceed five years. Plan for repair or replacement after that point.

What to do next

Check the manometer on the pipe to confirm whether the fan is running.
Verify the contractor's Kentucky radon certification with the state radon program before hiring.
Ask for a written quote that lists fan replacement with parts and labor.
Schedule a retest 24 hours after the repaired fan is running, per EPA guidance.

Quick answers

How do I check if my radon fan is actually running?

Look at the manometer on the vent pipe, which shows pressure change when the fan runs. Listen for the fan and check the pipe for airflow. If the fan is not operating properly, have it repaired instead of turning the system off.

Is it safe to stay in the house while the fan is broken?

EPA says a fan that has stopped should not be left off while waiting for repair. Radon levels can climb after the fan stops. Ask the pro how soon they can restore the system.

What is the typical cost for a radon fan replacement in Winchester?

EPA puts radon fan replacement at about $200 to $350, including parts and labor. Confirm the exact price in your written quote from a local pro.

Can I replace the radon fan myself or do I need a pro?

EPA says a qualified radon mitigation contractor is the right person to fix a broken system. Kentucky defines radon mitigation as installing, repairing, or altering a system, which requires certification.
