Expert Ventilation Services in Columbus and Surrounding Areas

Good ventilation is essential for maintaining healthy indoor air quality, reducing humidity, and preventing the buildup of allergens and pollutants. Whether you need a new Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system installed or your existing ventilation system repaired, The Waterworks provides expert solutions to keep your home or business comfortable and energy-efficient. 

What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)?

An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is a system that removes stale indoor air and replaces it with fresh outdoor air, all while maintaining energy efficiency. Unlike traditional exhaust fans that simply expel air, ERVs transfer heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air, ensuring a balanced indoor climate year-round.

How ERVs Work:

  • Heat & Energy Exchange: Transfers heat between outgoing and incoming air, reducing heating and cooling demands.
  • Humidity Control: Maintains balanced humidity levels by adjusting moisture levels in incoming air.
  • Improved Air Circulation: Continuously replaces stale air with fresh, filtered air, improving indoor air quality.

Installing an ERV system can make a significant difference in your home or business, ensuring cleaner air and better energy efficiency.

Benefits of ERV Installation for Your Home or Business

A properly installed ventilation system helps improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and overall comfort.

Why You Should Install an ERV:

  • Cleaner, Healthier Air: Reduces airborne pollutants, allergens, and odors, creating a fresher indoor environment.
  • Lower Energy Bills: Transfers heat and moisture to minimize the workload on your HVAC system, improving efficiency.
  • Consistent Comfort: Maintains balanced humidity levels, preventing dry air in the winter and excess moisture in the summer.
  • Odor Control: Prevents the buildup of stale air and lingering odors in kitchens, bathrooms, and other enclosed spaces.
  • Protects Your Home & Business: Regulates moisture levels to prevent mold and mildew growth, reducing structural damage risks.

An ERV system provides better indoor air quality while cutting down on energy waste, making it a smart, long-term investment for homes and businesses.

Had a water main issue. Feared it was outside. Set appt online through the website, which was fairly straightforward and easy to do from a user standpoint. Rodney, the Technichian assigned to our job , arrived at about 9am and was done by approx 1030. After carefully assessing the situation , he determined the issue was inside and gave us the estimate for what he believed would solve our issue, making clear this was the simplest and that he wanted to start with that to make the repair. If that didn't work , it would be more involved. He did in fact successfully repair the problem by the simpler means. Would recommend Waterworks and will use them again if needed.

I needed to have a new kitchen faucet installed. Waterworks was recommended to me by a friend. Just to be sure I checked out their reviews online, which added up to 4.7 out of 5 stars. I called at 7:45 a.m. the day after New Years Day (a Friday morning), and an actual human, who spoke understandable English, answered. I explained my problem, and she checked that day's scheduled openings, of which there were none. That didn't surprise me, but then I was happily surprised when she offered me an appointment Monday morning. I happily booked it, and, sure enough , Kameron showed up right around 8:30. After some show and tell on my part, he quickly, efficiently, and professionally got to work. He found that I needed new hot and cold water shut-off valves with new 1/4-turn angle stops for improved serviceability, which I authorized him to do after showing me the problem. He was most polite, personable and respectful to me and of my home, and knowledgable, finishing the job in a timely manner and to my complete satisfaction. I am putting Waterworks (and Kameron) on my speed dial for any future needs. Can't recommend them highly enough!
