Palomar: what's different here
Palomar is an established neighborhood located on the southwest side of Lexington. The area features a mix of housing styles, including all-brick ranch-style homes and colonial two-stories. Most homes in Palomar were built during the 1980s and 1990s, meaning many houses are roughly 30 to 45 years old. The neighborhood is known for its private amenities and city conveniences nearby.
Palomar Home Layout and Radon Mitigation
Most homes in Palomar were constructed between the 1980s and 1990s. These properties often feature finished basements. Because of this, mitigation projects may require sub-slab suction or sealing to effectively reduce radon levels.
Energy Costs of Radon Mitigation
A radon mitigation fan operates continuously, drawing 100 to 300 watts. This operation can add approximately $30 to $300 per year to a home's energy bill. This cost is related to the necessary fan operation during the mitigation process.
State Requirements for Radon Mitigation
Contractors performing radon-related services in Kentucky must be licensed by the state. Verification of these credentials can be done through the Kentucky state radon office. This ensures the local pro meets state safety and licensing standards.
What to do next
- Verify that the local pro is an NRPP-certified Radon Mitigation Specialist.
- Confirm the contractor is licensed by the state of Kentucky.
- Ask the pro for details on whether the installation requires sub-slab suction or sealing for your specific home.
- Check the state radon office website at radon.ky.gov for the full list of certified professionals.
