Home EMF Audit Checklist

Room-by-room audit of EMF sources and reduction opportunities

Walk through each room and identify all wireless and electrical sources. The goal isn't zero EMF — it's reducing unnecessary exposure, especially in sleep areas.

Bedroom (Highest Priority)

WiFi router located in or near bedroom— Move router as far from bedrooms as possible

Phone charging on nightstand— Move to across the room or another room; use airplane mode

Smart speaker / Alexa / Google Home— Remove from bedroom entirely or unplug at night

Electric blanket or heated mattress pad— Preheat then unplug before sleeping

Alarm clock (if digital/plugged in)— Battery-powered clock or move 3+ feet from head

Cordless phone base station— DECT phones emit constantly; replace with corded or move

Nursery / Child's Room

WiFi baby monitor— Switch to audio-only, or use wired camera with WiFi disabled

Tablet or phone used as white noise machine— Use a dedicated battery-powered sound machine instead

Electronics in the room— Remove all unnecessary electronics from sleep space

Smart night light— Use a simple plug-in night light without WiFi

Crib/bed near electrical panel or smart meter— Move bed at least 6 feet from panels and meters

Living Room

Smart TV with WiFi always on— Use ethernet cable; disable WiFi in TV settings

Gaming console in standby mode— Power off completely or use ethernet

Multiple smart home devices— Audit which are truly needed; remove the rest

Bluetooth speakers running constantly— Turn off when not actively in use

Kitchen

Microwave oven— Stand 4+ feet away while running; don't let children watch at door level

Smart appliances (fridge, oven, etc.)— Disable WiFi in settings if feature isn't used

Induction cooktop— Emits higher magnetic fields than gas/electric; use back burners when possible

Home Office

WiFi router— Switch to ethernet for desktop; put router on a timer

Laptop on lap or body— Use on desk; never directly on lap (especially for children)

Wireless keyboard/mouse— Switch to wired USB peripherals

Multiple devices broadcasting simultaneously— Disable WiFi on devices using ethernet

Outdoors / External

Smart meter on home exterior— Check which wall it's on — move beds away from that wall

Cell tower within 400 meters— If visible from home, consider shielding paint or film for that wall

Neighbor's WiFi routers— Less controllable; focus on your sleep environment

Safe Distance Recommendations

WiFi router

15+ feet from sleep/play areas

Smart meter

6+ feet from beds

Cell phone

Not on body; airplane mode at night

Microwave

4+ feet while operating

Laptop / tablet

Not on body; use on table

Baby monitor

3+ feet from crib; prefer wired

Rent or buy an EMF meter (Trifield TF2 or similar) to measure actual levels in your home. Measuring removes guesswork and lets you prioritize the highest-exposure areas.
