Radon rises from the soil and into your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as many as 8 million homes throughout the United States have elevated radon levels, and that over 20,000 deaths each year are radon related. Surveys done show that on average 1 in every 5 homes have elevated radon gas levels. Use this radon ventilation fan to rid your home of radon and save your family from the dangers associated with radon gas.
This self-contained radon fan does not require connection to PVC pipe which reduces the cost of installation. This radon ventilation fan has 2 reversible fans which can move 220 CFM. This radon fan is an affordable way to reduce radon in your home if you have a moderate level of radon (10 pCi/l or less)*. This radon fan is made for basements and non-ventilated crawl spaces.
The unique benefit of this radon fan is that the 2 reversible fans can be set to exhaust, supply fresh air or provided a balanced air exchange. The 220 CFM on this radon fan allows it to ventilate a 20' x 40' x 8' basement twice in one hour while only using 40 watts. This radon fan fits a 5" x 12" opening through the rim joist or outside wall and comes with 6 foot power cords and an exterior hood. Another benefit of this radon fan is that it helps to reduce humidity levels in your basement.

*“Basement ventilation can be a much more effective ventilation strategy than previously believed. It might be especially useful in houses with low radon concentrations (of the order of 10 pCi/l) or those with low levels that cannot be mitigated cost-effectively with conventional technology.” Cavallo, A. et al. Natural Basement Ventilation as a Radon Mitigation Technique. EPA/600/SR-92/059, 1992.
