Give your local real estate office a call. They deal with Radon inspections all the time and know which companies are reputable and offer the service at a reasonable price.

Also if you need to remediate radon in the air or well water they can give you the names of a few companies that provide those services in your area. Compare prices and the actual equipment to be used including maintenance costs if you do buy a system.

How to do a Radon Inspection on a House You Are Buying A Step by
Step Radon Home Inspection Guide

When performing a do-it-yourself radon home inspection, it's very important to follow the instructions that come with the
radon inspection test kits. If you are doing a radon home inspection
on a house you are planning to buy, then you will need to follow a
few extra procedures to insure that your results are accurate.

Please read and follow the instructions below in addition to the
ones that came with your radon inspection test kits.

Before Starting the Real Estate Radon Inspection Test:
Notify the home's occupants about the importance of maintaining
proper radon testing conditions. Give the occupants written
instructions fully explaining closed house testing conditions and
the consequences of interfering with the radon home inspection.

The model ST-200 radon inspection kit comes with 2 radon detectors. These 2 detectors should be exposed "side-by-side" in the same location. You will probably need to test more than one location so you will probably need more than one ST-200 radon inspection kit.

Conduct the test for a minimum of 48 hours. Remember, closed house
conditions must exist at least 12 hours before you start the radon
test and for the entire duration of the radon home inspection.

If you arrive at the house and find that closed house conditions did
not exist for 12 hours before the radon inspection start time, you
will have to reschedule the test for a time after the 12 hour closed
house conditions have been followed.

You should always place one set (2 side-by-side) of radon detectors
in the basement or lowest lived in level of the home you are buying.
You will also need to put radon detectors in each area that is in
contact with the ground. This is called testing the footprint of the
house. If you're not sure how many ST-200 Radon Inspection Kits you
will need to test the footprint of the house you are buying then use
our Radon Test Wizard.

The radon home inspection should include method(s) to prevent or
detect interference with testing conditions or with the radon
detector itself.

If the house has an active radon mitigation system, make sure the fan is operating properly. If the fan is not operating properly, ask to have it repaired before starting the radon home inspection.
