What Is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas without color, smell, or taste, making it impossible to detect without a specially trained technician. This gas is formed organically through the decay of uranium in soil, rocks, and water. Luckily, trained technicians at Fayette Heating & Air are here to help detect and mitigate radon levels for Kentucky residents.
Radon is dangerous because it radioactive. Over time, breathing in radon gas will trap radioactive particles in your lungs, increasing your likelihood of developing lung cancer. It can take years for problems to arise, and each year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that radon leads to 21,000 lung cancer deaths.

Testing is the first step in determining whether radon reduction is necessary in your home. Our professional radon measurement services provide homeowners peace of mind with accurate radon level detection.
It’s important to remember that radon levels can vary significantly from one home to another, even from your next-door neighbors. Therefore, it is advised to test your home for radon regardless of your area.
