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.
