Questions

Should I buy a radon monitor or a test kit?

A short-term test kit gives a first answer in days and is the usual choice for a home sale. A continuous monitor records hour by hour, shows how the level changes and keeps watch after a fix.

Can I use a consumer radon monitor for a home sale?

For a home sale, most buyers, sellers and states rely on a short-term test placed by a qualified tester or a certified kit, run under closed-house conditions; a consumer monitor's reading is useful for your own home but is not usually accepted as the sale's test. Check your state's rules first.

What radon level should I act on?

EPA recommends fixing a home at or above 4 pCi/L and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L. A monitor's long-term average is the figure to compare with those levels, not a single day.
