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.

How does an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) improve indoor air quality?

An ERV system continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, removing pollutants, allergens, and odors while maintaining energy efficiency.

Will an ERV system help with humidity control?

Yes! ERVs regulate humidity levels by adjusting moisture in incoming air, preventing excess dryness in winter and high humidity in summer.

How much does an ERV installation cost?

The cost depends on factors such as:

  • System size & model
  • Installation complexity
  • Home or business layout

We provide upfront pricing so you know the full cost before installation begins.

How often should an ERV be maintained?

We recommend annual servicing to keep your system running efficiently. Routine maintenance includes:

  • Cleaning filters

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you. Gj and Doris Poore Walton Ky

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
