Take control of your home's air quality with the Field Controls Trio Electron Air Purifier and breathe easy knowing that you're providing a clean and healthy environment for your family.

Field Controls is proud to unveil its latest innovation in combustion safety: the VPS Vent Proving Switch. Designed for gas-fired category one appliances like furnaces, boilers, and water heaters equipped with a draft hood, the VPS ensures the proper operation of these negative-vented appliances by monitoring vent gas temperature. If back drafting occurs, the VPS will shut off the main burner to prevent the spillage of combustion products into the home. Installed downstream of the draft hood, the VPS works seamlessly with Field Controls' GVD Vent Damper through its wire harness assembly, enabling easy electrical connection with the appliance safety circuit. When the appliance is idle, the VPS remains in standby mode. Once a heat call is initiated, the VPS starts its vent proving timer and opens the GVD. It continuously monitors vent gas temperature and safeguards against back drafting by initiating a soft lockout if temperatures decrease significantly. With energy-efficient homes leading to increased depressurization issues, the VPS Vent Proving Switch offers vital protection for homes and occupants. Contact Field Controls today to learn more about this cutting-edge solution.

In the quest for improved air quality and safety, Field Controls presents its cutting-edge UVC air purification technology. In an interview with Tim Begoski, the Midwest regional manager at Field Controls, we explore the potential effectiveness of whole house UVC air purifiers against viruses and their relevance in today's world. As the pandemic continues to impact our daily lives, facility and building managers nationwide are seeking solutions to maintain high air quality standards. Recognizing the pressing concerns surrounding airborne germs, bacteria, and mold, Field Controls offers ultraviolet (UVC) air purification systems as a powerful tool in neutralizing viruses. Begoski highlights the long-standing use of UVC technology in hospitals for disinfection purposes, particularly for medical equipment. By implementing germicidal lamps above air conditioning coils and within HVAC duct systems, UVC energy is utilized to deactivate microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. The technology disrupts the cell walls of bacteria and the barriers of protein in viruses, significantly reducing their presence. The advantages of UVC technology extend beyond the home setting. Commercial applications, such as office spaces, schools, and other facilities, can benefit from the implementation of germicidal lamps. By continuously exposing microorganisms to UVC energy as air passes through the system, the spread of viruses and bacteria can be curbed. Field Controls' UVC products stand out for their commitment to safety. Unlike some competitors, their germicidal lamps generate no ozone, ensuring the wellbeing of occupants. Ozone, when released into occupied spaces, can harm sensitive lungs. Additionally, Field Controls does not employ hydrogen peroxide or peroxyls, which are oxidizers that can negatively impact organic matter. Field Controls prioritizes the creation of a healthier indoor environment without compromising safety. Installation of UVC technology involves considerations such as updating the filter system and placing germicidal lamps above the evaporator to sterilize it and prevent biofilm growth. Field Controls offers various germicidal lamps, including dual and trio technology that reduces airborne chemicals in addition to microorganisms. Begoski emphasizes the importance of UVC technology beyond pandemics. Regular exposure to bacteria and viruses necessitates added protection for both residential and commercial spaces. Field Controls' UVC products can be tailored to suit various HVAC systems, providing enhanced safety and comfort year-round. For those interested in learning more about Field Controls' UVC products and germicidal lamps, visit fieldcontrols.com. The website offers comprehensive information and videos to educate users on the technology.
