Who can legally do radon mitigation system repair in Lexington?
Kentucky law (KRS 309.430 to 309.454) says no person or business may perform radon mitigation without the appropriate state certification. The state radon board issues a mitigation contractor registration certificate only to applicants who are certified, complete registration, show board-approved proficiency, and provide proof of general liability insurance. Ask any pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts.
What does a repaired radon fan cost to run?
An active radon fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously, which can add about $30 to $300 per year to your home's energy bill. Factor that ongoing cost into your repair decision. Ask the pro whether a repaired or replaced fan would be more efficient.
How do I verify a Lexington radon contractor's certification?
Check the contractor through the Kentucky state radon office at radon.ky.gov or by calling 502-782-2782. The National Radon Proficiency Program directory also lists Kentucky radon office contacts. Kentucky requires contractors performing radon-related services to be licensed by the state.
Repair or replace: what should my quote cover?
Since full mitigation systems average $1,200 to $3,000 in Lexington, compare a repair quote against that figure. Ask the pro to itemize parts, labor, and any fan replacement. Request proof of NRPP or NRSB certification and Kentucky registration in writing.
