No. Your 5% discount is separate. Ecosense still donates 10% of proceeds from your purchase through this campaign.

It is a nonprofit focused on raising awareness and expanding access to early lung cancer screening, helping more people detect lung cancer when it is most treatable.

The purpose of the Cancer Doesn't Care Fund is to expand early detection for lung cancer and other cancers by increasing awareness, improving equitable access to screening, and advancing research that identifies and supports individuals at elevated risk.

Yes. Ecosense monitors are designed for both. You can get quick insights within hours, while long-term tracking helps you understand patterns and seasonal changes in your home.

Not necessarily. Many homeowners start with one device and move it between rooms. However, if you want to monitor multiple areas at the same time, or live in a bigger house with a complex layout, using more than one device can give a more complete picture. Each radon detector is good to cover 93 m² / 1,000 sq ft.

It’s best to place the monitor in the lowest lived-in level of your home, such as a basement or ground floor. Avoid placing it near windows, vents, or direct airflow to ensure accurate readings.

Ecosense radon detectors are considered superior for their high-sensitivity, patented ion-chamber technology, which provides faster, more accurate, real-time, continuous tracking of radon fluctuations. The devices are designed for fast response to elevated radon levels, allowing homeowners to take action right away. Most models offer easy-to-understand radon trend analysis in a mobile app and smart home integration for better air quality management.

Yes. Radon levels naturally fluctuate due to weather, ventilation, seasonal changes, pressure differences, and even home renovations. This is why continuous monitoring can provide a more complete picture than a single one-time test.

With continuous radon monitoring, you can view hourly, daily, and long-term trends year over year. This helps you understand patterns instead of relying on a single reading.

If your readings stay consistently high, the next step is usually radon mitigation. This may include improving ventilation or installing a mitigation system by a certified radon professional. Post-mitigation continuous monitoring helps you confirm whether those changes are effective long-term.

You can see the initial readings as quickly as 10 minutes; the reliable result will be available in an hour, reaching over 90% accuracy in 10 hours of monitoring. Radon monitors become even more reliable over time. With continuous monitoring and rolling hourly averages, you’ll start getting a clearer picture of your radon levels, and accuracy continues to improve as more data is collected.

Yes. Renovations may alter airflow, insulation, or ventilation patterns within a property, which can influence indoor radon levels. Health authorities often recommend retesting after major home improvements.

Yes, the weather can have a significant impact. Rain, temperature changes, and pressure differences can cause radon levels to rise or fall. That’s why continuous radon monitoring is important to catch these variations.

The best radon monitor depends on your needs. Some homeowners prefer portable room-to-room testing, while others want continuous smart monitoring with app insights. A continuous digital radon monitor can help you understand changing radon levels over time and decide whether further action is needed.

Yes. Both older and newly built homes can have elevated radon levels. Modern energy-efficient homes may sometimes trap indoor air more effectively, which can influence radon buildup. The only way to know your home’s radon level is to test.
