Core offering

Air Sniper designs, manufactures, and sells UVC germicidal air sanitization equipment that destroys airborne pathogens (viruses, bacteria, mold spores) rather than filtering them. The product line includes in-line units integrated into HVAC ductwork, stand-alone room units, portable units, and HVAC coil-cleaning units, all built around proprietary magnetic induction lamp technology with 10+ year lamp life. Products are sold to commercial, industrial, healthcare, cannabis cultivation, and educational facility operators across North America and select international markets.
