During the winter months, homeowners have to worry about a higher concentration of radon in the home.
Radon levels can vary but tend to be highest during the winter when homes are being heated and the air is stagnant.

There are a number of factors that contribute to a higher concentration of radon gas in the winter. Three of the main ones are:
All this means that the winter is perhaps the best time to test your home for radon gas. Since radon levels are likely to be higher during the winter you can expect the level to not rise much higher during the rest of the year. You are also most vulnerable to radon during the winter since you will be inside for much of it and breathing the same reheated, recirculated air.
