Question 1

What is the Ecosense radon detector, and why do I need it?

Accepted Answer

An Ecosense radon detector helps you identify dangerous radon gas inside your home. It delivers fast, real-time results so you always know if your air is safe. Since radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for over 21,000 deaths each year, having a continuous radon monitor in place helps reduce your risk and serves as a proactive step toward protecting your home and family.

Question 2

How fast can I see the radon reading after setup?

Accepted Answer

With Ecosense’s patented ion chamber technology, you’ll see your first reading in about 10 minutes, reliable results in 1 hour, and over 90% accuracy within 10 hours. The device updates your readings every 10 minutes, giving you real-time visibility into radon levels that are always changing: day and night, season to season.

Question 3

Is it hard to install the Ecosense device?

Accepted Answer

No, installation is very easy. Just plug in the device, connect to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (if needed), and follow simple steps on the app. You do not need any special tools or experience.

Question 4

Which Ecosense product is best for me to buy?

Accepted Answer

Choose the device that best matches your home setup, monitoring needs, and whether you’re a homeowner or a professional. EcoBlu is an easy, plug-and-play radon monitor with results shown directly on the display and no app required. EcoQube is an award-winning smart monitor that offers in-app insights, trends, and alerts, while EcoQube Flex (coming soon) provides a portable, battery-powered option with both an on-device display and app connectivity. RadonEye is our first-generation home radon monitor with Bluetooth app access and a small built-in display, and RadonEye Pro delivers professional-grade accuracy with detailed reporting for inspectors and radon professionals. For fast diagnostics, EcoTracker features a unique 5-minute sniff mode ideal for pre- and post-mitigation checks used by industry experts.

Question 5

Is the Ecosense product certified and accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ecosense’s professional monitors are NRPP- and NRSB-certified, and our consumer radon monitors undergo rigorous third-party laboratory testing. All devices use our patented ion chamber technology for high accuracy, trusted by homeowners and professionals.

Question 6

How is Ecosense different from other radon detectors?

Accepted Answer

Ecosense delivers faster, more accurate, real-time results with readings updated every 10 minutes. Unlike other monitors, Ecosense provides hourly rolling averages, ensuring that radon fluctuations are never hidden inside daily averages. Our patented ion chamber technology is 15× more sensitive than industry standard requirements, allowing you to see how everyday actions, such as turning on a fan or opening windows, impact radon levels in real time. Paired with our smooth, intuitive mobile apps and a proven record of reliability since 2019, Ecosense offers the most advanced DIY radon monitoring experience available today.

Question 7

Are Ecosense radon monitors approved by any official organizations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ecosense devices are approved by the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) and meet ANSI/AARST performance standards. Health Canada also recommends using approved electronic radon monitors for home testing, a list that includes Ecosense.

Question 8

Can I connect Ecosense radon monitors to my phone or smart home system?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Home radon monitors like EcoQube, EcoQube Flex, and RadonEye connect through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth so you can view readings, track long-term trends, receive alerts, and download reports from your phone anytime, anywhere. As of now, smart home integration is available for EcoQube through IFTTT.

Question 9

How accurate are Ecosense radon detectors?

Accepted Answer

Ecosense detectors use advanced ion chamber sensors that deliver professional-grade accuracy, comparable to what radon experts use. Our patented technology is 15× more sensitive than industry standard requirements, meaning it captures more radon events per hour for faster stabilization and clearer visibility into true radon fluctuations. This higher sensitivity allows homeowners to see changes sooner, detect short-term spikes and drops, and understand how everyday actions, like ventilation, fans, or opening windows, affect radon levels in real time. Ecosense monitors are trusted by homeowners, home inspectors, and mitigation specialists worldwide.

Question 10

Why is continuous radon monitoring important for my home?

Accepted Answer

Radon levels can change dramatically throughout the day based on weather, ventilation, and home activity. One-time radon tests only show the level during the limited testing period, often missing the daily and seasonal fluctuations that matter most. With a continuous radon monitor, you get ongoing, real-time results instead of a single snapshot. This means you can see true day-to-day changes, understand how your home’s behavior affects radon levels, and receive alerts when patterns are high, allowing you to take timely action to protect your home.
