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.

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.

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

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

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

Over the past years, starting in 2014, we have used Waterworks for any of our plumbing issues. Recently we had issues regarding Plumbing, HVAC and Drain issues. Waterworks approach, was to assign an expert to each of these issues. The results have been excellent in each. Pricing is very good. Last year we were having sump pump issues. Waterworks checked everything. They recommended installing a Backup Sump Pump System. We did this and it is wonderful. We Highly Recommend Waterworks!

Collin did an excellent job. He gave us a price on the work to be done and that we needed to contact the city to turn off the water to the house. Will make an appoint to replace the water shut-off valve in the next couple of weeks.

I had an emergency backup that I needed cleared same day. I have used other companies in the past that resolve the problem at a low cost but want to come out later and sell expensive fixes. The experience with Waterworks was that they wanted to fix the drain blockage to the best of their ability at that time. If further work needed done it could still be evaluated, but there was more than a bandaid on my current issue.

We had a miserable waste line backup that flooded a good portion of our basement. Waterworks was the only company available to come out same-day. Samuel arrived within two hours of my initial call, unclogged the waste pipe, cleared the floor drain - allowing the backup to clear - and had us back in business for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the other companies’ estimates… and the other companies would’ve left us with standing sewage backup in our basement for at least another 24 hours. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Samuel come out for any of our future plumbing nightmares. 🙂

I was looking into a possible blockage in my sewer line or issues with toilet. No issues with toilets although they may need replacement if not providing sufficient pressure during flushing. Asked about possible quote to replace faucets and shutoff valves. I can purchase my own faucets and toilets (if needed) and the rest will be provided by Waterworks. Quite informative visit 👍.

Wade came out (the same day I called), to snake my clogged downspout drain. I told him I've often had tree roots in the line, so he put a cutting bit on the snake & went to work. He was a really nice guy who was eager to help, and he did a stellar job. I'm looking forward to losing the wet in the basement!

I was impressed but this company. They got here quick sent a text with technical's picture saying he was on the way. Since my husband couldn't be here it made me feel safe just knowing who was coming. Matt was very professional and nice took time to explain the issue with our boiler system along with pictures showing the damage. Waiting on estimates for part replacement versus replacement of boiler. Great job that's for going above all rest. The picture text A+

John came out for preventative maintenance on my sewer line because of a tree in my front yard always having roots entering the line and causing backup. He did a great job and sent his 6 inch blade the full 90 feet to clear the line.

Quite possibly the most detail oriented company I’ve worked with. The way their HVAC installer made sure every wire was secured in brackets and everything was run neat and tidy really tingles all the OCD tendencies one may have. Overall I couldn’t have chosen a better company to work with!

We called a few plumbers for the same issue at Horizon High School. They all came, inspected the problem, and left after giving us repair quotes. Thomas from Water Works was different. He carefully examined the issue, explained how the system works in detail, and offered a very effective solution. He didn’t just give us a quote — he took the time to help us understand the problem and then fixed it properly. We truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. Highly recommended!

The whole experience with Waterworks was positive. I called during the weekend and spoke to a representative and scheduled a service call for Monday. They arrived at the time that was promised and a call was made 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technician was courteous and explained what potentially could have occurred and what options I would have. Service call was completed and I am very satisfied with the entire process.

JonLe was awesome to work with they didn’t hassle us during the buying process or make us feel rushed, they gave us time and space to figure things out and let us know if we had questions we were free to ask. Makes it easier when making a huge purchase for your home. We were able to call and schedule the new HVAC install quickly and they work efficiently and left everything clean and tidy when done! They explained everything to us when they finished the install and let us know all the important details and what to expect. I would highly recommend JonLe to anyone in need of a new HVAC system! They also had very easy finance options for the system which was also nice to see.
