Two ways to test. One right method.

Kit or monitor, the method is the same: test for at least 3 months, mostly during the heating season, in a room on the lowest level you use 4+ hours a day. The check helps you choose the tool.

Long-term test kit

Best if you want one number for this winter, haven't had a radon fix, and don't mind waiting for a lab result.

Radon monitor

Best if you want to see how radon changes over time, or how home changes affect your levels.

After a radon fix

If you've had a fix done or are planning one, a monitor shows whether it works and keeps watching in case levels come back.
