Let’s dive in.

RADON Detector Giveaway

REPYYC is offering readers the chance to get a radon detector, sponsored by RadonLab.

What Is Radon?

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that can accumulate in homes. Long-term exposure may pose serious health risks, making testing your home the only way to know if your space is safe.

Radon levels are specific to each home and can fluctuate over time. Even well-built, energy-efficient homes can have elevated radon — but it’s measurable and correctable with proper mitigation systems. Testing is a simple step that protects your family and helps you take control of your indoor air quality.

The Detector

The giveaway features the Airthings Wave, a smart radon and indoor air quality monitor sold by Amazon that tracks radon, CO₂, VOCs, temperature, and humidity for reliable, long-term readings.

Bought Your First Home in 2025?

A Tax Credit You Should Know About

If you were a first-time home buyer in 2025, there’s a tax detail worth having on your radar before filing. Many buyers don’t realize that purchasing a home can reduce the amount of income tax they owe for the year they bought. Under current federal rules, if you (or your spouse or common-law partner) didn’t live in a home you owned during the year of purchase or the previous four years, you may qualify for the First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit—often called the Home Buyers’ Amount. The definition of “first-time buyer” is broader than most people expect, which means some buyers qualify without realizing it.

The credit allows a combined claim of up to $10,000, which can reduce federal taxes owing by up to $1,500, depending on your situation. It applies to most primary residences in Canada, including condos, townhomes, single-family homes, and newly built properties, with special considerations in certain disability-related situations. It’s not a cash payout, but for buyers who owe income tax, it can provide a meaningful reduction.

 Asbestos In Calgary Homes

What Buyers & Sellers Should Know

Asbestos was widely used in Canadian homes throughout much of the 20th century because of its durability, fire resistance, and insulating properties. In Calgary, homes built before the 1990s may still contain asbestos in materials like attic insulation, ceiling textures, flooring, and drywall compounds.

While asbestos itself isn’t dangerous when left undisturbed, problems can arise during renovations, repairs, or demolition when fibres become airborne. Because of this, asbestos often comes up during home inspections, renovation planning, or real estate transactions.

Understanding where asbestos may be present, when it becomes a concern, and how it’s handled can help homeowners, buyers, and sellers avoid unexpected issues.
