Who owns Penny Damper
Penny Damper shares owners with four businesses:
- PlumbingSupplyAndMore.com, a plumbing and HVAC supply house. Its listed prices are the dated part prices on the repair pages.
- Central Plumbing HVAC (under the same ownership as Penny Damper), a heating and cooling company that works in Bucks and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
- SoftPro Water Systems (under the same ownership as Penny Damper) and Quality Water Treatment (under the same ownership as Penny Damper), two water-treatment shops.
The About page links the three shops' home pages as part of its ownership note.

How partner links are written
Each of the 14 pages has a short box near the top saying the site shares owners with the businesses it links, and a note follows every partner link in the text. A page carries at most four such links in its text plus one "parts bin" box. Parts that need a licensed technician, such as capacitors, igniters and motors, are listed for price reference and for your contractor, and the page says the job is a technician's. Central Plumbing HVAC's pages are shown as an example of what a local company's service page lists; if you live outside its area, look for a licensed company near you.
What never changes
Partner links never change a figure on a page. Part prices are the listed prices on the date shown, labor is never guessed, and safety advice is the same whether or not a page links a business. The sources page explains where every figure comes from.
