Airthings Wave radon detector reviewNovember is Radon action month. Did you know that radon gas that seeps up from radioactive elements deep underground can collect in your home? You can’t smell it, taste it, or see it either. And radon is deadly, leading to more cases of lung cancer than any other cause for non-smokers. To help raise awareness of the dangers of radon, Best Buy is giving away 2 sets of Airthings monitors in this contest.

How can you be sure the air in your home is safe?

Your home is your sanctuary, a place you relax and unwind, enjoying time with your family. The last thing you need is a silent, odourless, invisible pest; and there is no nastier pest than radon gas. In Canada alone, over 3000 people die each year due to illnesses caused by radon (takeactiononradon.ca). That’s more than from car accidents!

Radon gas is a naturally occurring product of radioactive elements in the soil. It gets into our homes from the ground, and since it is heavier than air, it can collect in our homes and concentrate to hazardous levels. You can act to reduce it if you know it’s a problem in your home. Airthings smart monitors can measure the radon levels continuously and send those reading right to an app on your phone. In addition, the newest Airthings Wave Plus can measure radon, CO2, and other harmful substances for added protection (One of the prizes for this contest includes a Wave Plus!).

Radon levels are different all over the country

Last year, I sent one Airthings Wave monitor to writers across the country; the readings were then published in a review by Brad Moon on our blog. As you can see from the graph (reproduced here), radon levels vary a lot from place to place.

Best Buy has many kinds of smart technology designed to make your home safer. There are smart cameras, smart lights, smart sensors, and more. Using a monitor designed to detect radon is one way to keep your home safe. And, since placement is so important, you might need more than one if your home has multiple levels. That’s why we are giving each winner of this contest two monitors: so the air you breathe in your home can be safer.

How to enter

Entering is easy, but you can only enter once. First look at the smart home section of Best Buy’s website, then tell us another product (besides Airthings radon monitors) that you think would increase the safety of your home.

What you can win

At the end of this contest, we will select two (2) winners from all eligible entries. One person will win an Airthings Wave Plus and an Airthings Wave, the other person will receive an Airthings Wave and an Airthings Corentium Radon Gas Monitor.

This contest runs from November 28th to December 12th.

Remember, you can only enter once, but tell your family about the risks posed by radon gas so they too can act to protect their home.

Good Luck.

  2. I like the SkylinkNet Wireless Outdoor 720p HD IP Camera (WC-510PH) – White – this would increase security in our home to keep watch of our garage side door.

  8. Arlo Pro 2 Wire-Free Indoor/Outdoor Security System with 2 1080p HD Cameras is what I want! After 2 attempted home invasions. 1 deranged person banging trying to get in last month has me quite shaken. It’s scary out there. Protect me best buy!

  16. A radar detector !!!!! My foot somehow becomes a tad “heavy” now and then. Would sure come in handy in case Johnny Law happens to be around .

  22. Security cameras. Maybe the Arlo Pro 2 Wire-Free Indoor/Outdoor Security System with 4 1080p HD Cameras

  30. The Arlo Ultra Wire – Free Security System with 4 Bullet 4K cameras would be great for added security as we live in a rural area.

  32. Having a smart thermostat like the Google Nest at my grandma’s house would not only help with managing the temperature, but it would also allow me to check if the temperature level is too hot or too cold for my grandma. Other than that, I would also want to connect it to detect for smoke and carbon monoxide.

  36. The Arlo Ultra Wire – Free Security System with 4 Bullet 4K cameras in White would certainly provide more Security !

  37. The Ring Wi-Fi 1080p HD Video Doorbell Pro with Chime Pro would increase the security as I would be able to see who is outside my door even when I’m away from home.

  39. Our grandbaby just learned to open doors. Yikes! He’s into everything. I think the Tediton Indoor Biometric Finger Print Smart Lock would keep him from opening the basement door. Those stairs give me nightmares.

  41. the smart home section of Best Buy’s website has OneLink Smart Battery-Operated Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector

  43. Security cameras would be a big improvement – like the Arlo Pro 2 Wire-Free Indoor/Outdoor Security System with 4 1080p HD Cameras

  44. Home safety and security is priority and it would be important to have reliable detectors around the house like the First Alert Onelink Safe & Sound Wi-Fi 3-in-1 Smoke & CO Alarm .

  47. The First Alert Onelink Safe & Sound Wi-Fi 3-in-1 Smoke & CO Alarm would really help increase the safety of our home.

  49. A First Alert Onelink Safe & Sound Wi-Fi 3-in-1 Smoke & CO Alarm would increase safety because you don’t know you have a CO2 issue until it is too late.
