Field Controls has been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing products that revolutionize the way we control, move, and improve air. With a rich history dating back to 1927, our founder Ted Field pioneered the barometric draft control, a device that automatically regulates airflow in combustion chambers to ensure a consistent burn rate and maximize fuel efficiency.

Field draft controls have become the industry standard, trusted by top-quality oil and gas boilers and furnaces for decades. We also offer draft inducers, chimney tops, and in-line solutions to meet diverse commercial and solid fuel applications.

Energy efficiency is a top priority, which is why Field Controls developed oil and gas vent dampers that prevent heat loss when systems are idle, leading to significant fuel savings and reduced heating costs season after season.

Our SWG sidewall power venter provides a safe and reliable option for venting oil and gas appliances without a chimney, featuring stainless steel construction and space-saving design.

As homes have become more airtight, proper oxygen supply to heating appliances has become critical. Field Controls addressed this issue with innovative combustion air systems, such as the Field Air Boot that delivers fresh combustion air directly to oil burners, and the Field Fan in a Can that brings fresh air into furnace rooms for gas appliances on demand.

For comprehensive technical information, installation guides, and training resources, our Field Contractor Reference Guide is a valuable tool. Visit our website to access the latest product information and request training classes in your area.

Thank you for choosing Field Controls as your trusted partner in air management solutions.

Field controls air. We are the leader in the development of manufacturer products that control, move, and improve air. It all began in nineteen twenty seven when Ted Field will develop the barometric draft control. Also known as a draft regulator, this device automatically controls the flow of air through a combustion chamber, mitigating the effects of wind, environment, and barometric changes. To provide a consistent burn rate and maximize fuel economy. Provided as original equipment on the finest oil and gas boilers and furnaces, Field draft controls have set the standard for decades. Also available for commercial and solid fuels applications. And when more draft is required, Field offers the draft inducer in line and chimney top. Field oil and gas vent dampers improve energy efficiency by preventing heat loss when the system is idle, provided as standard equipment on leading oil and gas heating appliances, field vent dampers save fuel and reduce heating costs season after season. Another of our flagship products is the SWG sidewall power meter. The patented SWG was developed in response to a to vent oil and gas appliances without a chimney. The stainless steel SWG and combo vent systems provide a safe, reliable bidding solution while conserving interior space. As homes have become tighter and tighter in an effort to save energy. Oil and gas heating appliances have suffered from a lack of oxygen, wasting fuel, causing soothing, shutdowns, and late night callbacks. Field developed a suite of combustion air systems in response to this problem. The field air boot delivers fresh combustion air directly to the oil burner. While the field fan of the can automatically brings fresh air into the furnace room for gas appliances on demand. For the very latest technical information, installation information, and wiring diagrams, and so much more. Ask for the field contractor reference guide for vending draft and combustion.

NextEra Advances Duane Arnold Nuclear Restart With Federal Loan

NextEra Advances Duane Arnold Nuclear Restart With Federal Loan

NextEra Energy received a Department of Energy loan of up to $1.9 billion and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval to reconnect the shuttered Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa to the grid. The company has already signed a 25-year electricity supply agreement with Google for the plant, which it aims to restart by early 2029.

  • 01NextEra closed a $1.9 billion DOE loan through the Office of Energy Dominance Financing to fund the Duane Arnold restart, targeting electricity production by early 2029.
  • 02Google committed to a 25-year power purchase agreement with Duane Arnold to support its cloud-computing and AI infrastructure in Iowa.
  • 03Duane Arnold is one of three shuttered U.S. nuclear plants restarting with federal financing, alongside Constellation Energy's Crane plant ($1 billion loan) and Holtec's Palisades plant ($1.52 billion loan).

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India Order Could Free Up 15.7 GW of Renewable Grid Access

India's Central Electricity Regulatory Commission ordered on July 11 that renewable developers surrender transmission rights or provide higher bank guarantees if their projects are not generating power, a change Reuters reported could free up roughly 15.7 gigawatts of grid connectivity. Reuters separately reported that coal still supplies about 70% of India's electricity generation as of an August 17 report.

  • 01CERC order requires renewable developers to either surrender transmission rights or post additional bank guarantees for non-generating projects.
  • 02Approximately 15.7 GW of grid connectivity held by awarded projects that are not generating power could be freed up; surrendered capacity would first go to existing applicants in the same substation cluster, with any remainder auctioned.
  • 03Developers and buyers evaluating projects in constrained substation clusters should verify current CERC connectivity status and guarantee backing, as auction-based allocation may alter cost and timing dynamics.

India's Evening Power Deficit Persists Despite Record Solar Capacity Growth

India's Evening Power Deficit Persists Despite Record Solar Capacity Growth

India's electricity demand exceeded 270 gigawatts on May 22, 2026 amid a heatwave, with a late-evening peak deficit of about 2.57 gigawatts reported by grid regulator Grid-India, according to Reuters. Reuters also reported that as of August 2026, clean energy capacity, led by solar, had surpassed fossil fuel capacity in India for the first time, though coal still supplies roughly 70% of actual generation.

  • 01Peak electricity demand in India exceeded 270 gigawatts on May 22, 2026 amid a heatwave, Reuters reported.
  • 02A late-evening peak deficit of about 2.57 gigawatts was recorded by Grid-India, per Reuters.
  • 03Clean energy installed capacity, led by solar, surpassed fossil fuel capacity in India for the first time, per Ember/GEM data cited by Reuters, though coal still supplies about 70% of generation.
