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

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.

How fast can I see the radon reading after setup?

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.

Is it hard to install the Ecosense device?

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.

Which Ecosense product is best for me to buy?

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.

Is the Ecosense product certified and accurate?

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.

How is Ecosense different from other radon detectors?

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.

Are Ecosense radon monitors approved by any official organizations?

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.

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

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.

How accurate are Ecosense radon detectors?

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.

Why is continuous radon monitoring important for my home?

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.

Ecosense Expands Utah Library Lending Program

Radon Global Leader Empowers Utah Communities with Access to Life-Saving Radon Detection Technology.

San Jose, California – November 25, 2025 – Ecosense®, a global leader in radon detection technology, is happy to report the continued success and expansion of its Library Lending Program now in Utah. This revolutionary community initiative allows Utah residents to borrow high-quality radon detectors from their local libraries. With six library partnerships now in place throughout the state, this program demonstrates Ecosense’s profound understanding of the value of community cooperation and its commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to clean indoor air.

At Eagle Mountain Library, as well as partner libraries in Salt Lake City, Provo, and other Utah communities, local families have embraced the chance to use Ecosense’s award-winning technology to monitor their homes for radon — the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. The program’s success has been particularly noteworthy. Residents can experience real-time radon monitoring by borrowing an EcoBlu device. Through this initiative, the community is empowered to make simple, life-saving changes by gaining hands-on experience and practical knowledge about radon risk in their daily lives.

“This initiative highlights what we value most: the trust and enthusiasm of communities who share our commitment to healthier living,” said Insoo Park, CEO of Ecosense. “By working hand in hand with local libraries, we’re able to turn technology into a shared community resource that protects families and strengthens the fabric of public health.”

Since its inception, the Ecosense Library Lending Program has grown rapidly, becoming a model for public-private collaboration in environmental health. With Ecosense’s rapid, accurate, and easy-to-use detectors, partner libraries across Utah can now take proactive steps to create safer indoor environments. Homeowners will now have access to state-of-the-art radon detection technology thanks to the efforts of their local librarians, educators, and community leaders.

“We have been very pleased with our community’s response to our Ecosense EcoBlu Radon Detectors. We received 12 detectors in July of 2024,” stated Michele Graves, Director of Eagle Mountain Library. “And we have had over 250 checkouts of those. Radon is a big issue in our area, and having these kits has been a great resource for our patrons.”

Ecosense is thankful for the state of Utah’s continued support in our joint effort to stop the spread of lung cancer and continue our fight against radon.
