-AprilAire Encouraged Radon Testing With Free Kits and Covered the Cost of Mitigation Systems for Employees With Elevated Levels-

MADISON, Wis. (May 7, 2024) – AprilAire, the nationwide leader in professional-grade Healthy Air solutions for the home, is spreading awareness about the dangers of radon. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can enter through cracks and holes in the foundation beneath your home. Not only are there elevated levels in 1 of every 15 homes, but it is also the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The only way to know if you’re being exposed in your home is to test.

The AprilAire leadership team encouraged every employee to test their home for radon and supplied free AprilAire Radon Test Kits to do so. Unfortunately, several families needed to act upon learning their results. 33% of employees’ homes tested above 4 pCi/L and will receive professionally installed AprilAire Radon Mitigation Systems courtesy of AprilAire. Every employee who tested their home was also entered into a drawing for several Indoor Air Quality monitors as well as gift cards.

One of AprilAire’s core values is being a Good Neighbor. Being a Good Neighbor means not only giving back to the community, but employees too.

“AprilAire giving out radon tests truly shows that AprilAire cares about its employees so that they are aware of the levels in their homes. I would have never of known my house was a hotspot for radon had it not been for AprilAire providing tests to its employees.” —Matthew B., AprilAire Employee

“What better way to raise awareness than starting with your own family, your employees.” —Jackie H., AprilAire Employee

“The company campaign to raise employee awareness is THE reason I tested… and our levels are unsafe. We spend a lot of time in our exposed lower level so I’m very thankful for the prompt to test and the support to mitigate!” —Alyssa Y., AprilAire Employee

If a test shows a home has high radon gas levels, a homeowner must look into remediation with their Healthy Air Professional, which can typically reduce radon levels up to 99%. Most home sales require a radon test as a routine part of an inspection, but wise homeowners should test at least once a year.
