Top 5 Recommended Radon Test Kits for Calgary Homeowners

Selecting the right test kit is the first step toward a healthy home. In Canada, we look for products that are C-NRPP certified (the Canadian standard) and capable of handling our unique climate fluctuations.

1. Airthings Wave

A simple to use, accurate sensor (that also measures temperature and humidity).

  • Best For: Homeowners who want an easy, continuous radon monitoring system that is compatible with Airthings View series, Airthings Hub, Google Assistant, Alexa.

  • Why it’s a Top Pick: Long battery life (approx. 1.5 years), free app, waving your hand in front of the unit will give an immediate colour coded index of radon levels. This unit easily mounts to a wall without being obtrusive.

2. Airthings Corentium Home

Airthings is the industry leader for consumer digital monitors. Unlike a one-time kit, this stays in your home and shows your radon levels on a screen in real-time.

  • Best For: Families who want to see how radon levels change when the furnace kicks on or when it gets cold outside (crucial for Calgary winters).

  • Why it’s a Top Pick: No lab fees, no waiting for results, and it has a battery life of up to two years. It’s essentially a “radon smoke detector.”

3. AEGTest Hound-3786

For homeowners who love a “long term setup”, this unit has a rechargeable lithium battery, audible alarms, and a large, full colour screen for easy monitoring. 

  • Best For: Long term monitoring with excellent reporting tools.

4. The Local Reliable Option: AGAT Laboratories Long-Term Kit

AGAT is a prominent Canadian lab with a physical location right here in Calgary (42 Ave NE). Using a local lab kit often means faster shipping and the peace of mind that your sample isn’t crossing international borders for testing.

  • Best For: Support-local enthusiasts who want professional-grade lab results with the option for local pick-up or drop-off.

  • Why it’s a Top Pick: Excellent customer support and lab reports that are easy for Calgary homeowners to interpret.
