Welcome to Field Controls

Field Controls is an industry leader in draft, venting, and combustion air technology. In 2005, they were recognized as Manufacturer of the Year by the National Association of Oil Heat Service Managers.

The company was founded by Ted Field in 1927 in Evanston, Illinois and moved to Kinston, North Carolina in 1977. Field Controls first specialized in large, custom-built draft controls. Field expanded its product line to include venting, combustion and air purification products. The company remains the worldwide leader in the manufacture of draft controls for oil, gas and solid fuel applications.

Field Controls products are now available at over 5,000 wholesale outlets in North America. Many come standard on equipment made by leading HVAC manufacturers. In the 1950’s, Field introduced two draft controls that remain staples in today’s market: the “RC” and the “MG” series, the standards for oil-fired and gas-fired applications, respectively.

In the late 80's Field developed and patented the premier sidewall power venting product, the SWG Sidewall Power Venter. The SWG is the first choice among service managers and contractors for sidewall venting combustion products from furnaces and boilers. For direct vent applications, Field produces the Field Direct Venting System which offers unique benefits to the installer and homeowner.

To solve combustion air problems, Field manufactures the CAS Combustion Air Systems. Built for oil and gas applications, the CAS series provides adequate combustion air via the Field Airboot® or FurnaceBoot™ (oil) or the Fan-in-a-Can® (gas).

In the 1990's, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) became a major focus for the HVAC industry. Field Controls manufactures a complete line of ultraviolet air purifiers under the brand name UV-Aire®. UV-Aire products use ultraviolet light to kill and reduce airborne particles such as mold, bacteria, viruses and fungi. These thoroughly tested systems are available for forced-air oil, gas and electric systems. There are also two portable models that combine high efficiency filtration with UV light for homes and offices that require extra protection or do not have duct systems.

Field also makes Draft Inducers, Air Booster® duct boosters, GVD Gas Vent Dampers, Clearwave Water Conditioners, The Eliminator® foundation vent fan, and the 20+ Condensate Pump.
