For over ninety years, field controls has been the industry leader in the development and manufacture of product that control, move and improve air. Our founder, Ted Field, developed the first barometric draft control. Also known as a draft regulator, to automatically control the flow of air through a combustion chamber, providing a consistent burn rate and maximizing fuel economy. It set the standard, becoming original equipment on the oil and gas boilers and furnaces made. As homes have become tighter in an effort to save energy, oil and gas heating appliances often so from a lack of oxygen, wasting fuel, and causing sooting, shutdowns, and late night callbacks. To address these issues, other innovative field controls products were developed. In line and chimney top draft endducers to help boost draft when required. Oil and gas vent dampers that improve energy efficiency by preventing heat loss when the system is idle, saving fuel and reducing heating costs. The patented SWG sidewall power vinter to help vent oil and gas appliances without a chimney. Combustion air systems such as fan in a can that automatically bring fresh air into the furnace room on demand for proper combustion. The air boot, delivering fresh combustion air directly to oil burners, and thermal safety switches to detect flu gas spillage due to a blocked flu, continuous down drafting, or inadequate draft conditions. Field controls continues to constantly improve the efficiency, venting safety, and code science of all of our products for better solutions.

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

$1.1 trillion in grid investment and AI data centers still face decade-long connection waits

The energy sector is planning significant investments in grid infrastructure, with $208 billion allocated for 2025 alone. Despite such investments, data centers in regions like Northern Virginia still face prolonged waits, sometimes extending up to 14 years, for grid connections. This highlights a disconnect between planned investments and actual implementation efficiency.

  • 01$208 billion planned for grid spending in 2025.
  • 02Data centers in Northern Virginia face up to 14-year waits for connections.
  • 03Infrastructure investment isn't translating into immediate capacity improvements.
