Air Quality Hardware We Install
Nestology installs commercial-grade air quality monitoring and treatment equipment in residential homes across Central Pennsylvania.
Airthings: Our primary platform for continuous radon and indoor air quality monitoring. Airthings Wave Plus tracks radon, CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure from a single sensor. Airthings View Plus adds a local display and PM2.5 particulate detection. Data feeds to the Airthings dashboard and integrates with your smart home automation. Radon readings update hourly - no waiting weeks for a mail-in test.
Ecobee Smart Thermostats: Ecobee Premium includes a built-in air quality monitor (VOC and CO2 detection) alongside occupancy sensing and remote room sensors. Your HVAC system adjusts ventilation based on actual air quality readings, not just temperature. Ecobee integrates with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
AprilAire Ventilation: Whole-home fresh air ventilation systems that exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air. AprilAire 8100 Energy Recovery Ventilator maintains energy efficiency while bringing fresh air into tight, energy-efficient homes where CO2 builds up fast.
RGF REME HALO: In-duct air purification using ionized hydrogen peroxide plasma. Treats every cubic foot of air that passes through your HVAC system. Reduces airborne bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and odors at the source. Installed inside your existing ductwork with no separate filters to replace.

Radon in Central Pennsylvania: What Homeowners Need to Know
Pennsylvania has some of the highest indoor radon levels in the United States. The EPA sets the action level at 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). Many homes in Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, and Cumberland counties test well above that threshold.
Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps into homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and gaps around pipes. You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it. Long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking (EPA).
Traditional radon testing uses charcoal canisters mailed to a lab - results take 5-7 days and give you a single snapshot. Smart radon monitors like Airthings Wave Plus provide continuous hourly readings, long-term averages, and phone alerts when levels spike. You see exactly when radon peaks (usually overnight when HVAC is off and the house is sealed).
If your radon level exceeds 4.0 pCi/L, a sub-slab depressurization system (radon mitigation fan installed on a PVC pipe through the slab) reduces levels by 80-99% in most homes. Nestology installs the monitoring; we coordinate with certified PA radon mitigators for the fan system when needed. Our monitors confirm the mitigation is working 24/7.

FAQ
The EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L is not a safe/unsafe cutoff - it is the level where mitigation becomes cost-effective relative to lung cancer risk. Any radon exposure carries some risk. The EPA estimates that a lifetime exposure at 4 pCi/L creates a lung cancer risk comparable to smoking half a pack per day. Homes in Central PA often test at 8-20+ pCi/L. If your home tests above 4, mitigate. If it tests between 2 and 4, the EPA still recommends considering mitigation.
A charcoal test kit gives you one reading over 2-7 days. Radon levels fluctuate hourly based on weather, HVAC operation, and season. A smart monitor like Airthings Wave Plus provides continuous readings, long-term averages, and alerts when levels spike. If you are testing before a real estate transaction, a certified short-term test is required. For ongoing peace of mind in your home, a continuous monitor gives you far more useful data.
Yes, but only if the thermostat controls ventilation in addition to temperature. Ecobee Premium has a built-in VOC and CO2 sensor that triggers your HVAC fan to circulate air when readings spike. Paired with a whole-home ventilation system like AprilAire, the thermostat can bring in filtered outdoor air when CO2 levels get too high. A thermostat that only controls heating and cooling does not address air quality on its own.
Yes. New furniture, paint, flooring, and cabinets off-gas volatile organic compounds (formaldehyde, benzene, toluene) for weeks to months after installation. Symptoms include headaches, nausea, eye irritation, and respiratory issues. A VOC sensor (built into Airthings Wave Plus or Ecobee Premium) detects elevated levels. The fix is increased ventilation - opening windows or running a whole-home ventilation system until VOC readings return to normal. We set up automated alerts so you know when levels are high.
A single Airthings Wave Plus sensor (radon, CO2, VOC, humidity, temperature) costs $230. Most homes need 1-2 sensors (basement for radon, main living area for CO2/VOC). An Ecobee Premium thermostat with built-in air quality sensing runs $250. A complete Nestology air quality package with installation, sensor placement, smart home integration, and dashboard setup runs $500-$1,500 depending on home size and number of zones. Whole-home ventilation (AprilAire ERV) adds $2,000-$4,000 installed.
