Where Valencia Residents Live and Gather
Valencia, in Butler County, is a small borough of approximately 500-550 residents. Its population skews older, with a median age ranging from 51 to 73. Homes in this area include aging single-family dwellings and some newer builds. Residents enjoy local green spaces, such as Glade Run Lake, and gatherings at the Stormy Oaks Nature Conservancy and Freedom Farms during seasonal festivals. These community hubs bring families together, resulting in higher demand for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services.
Valencia’s History and Home Performance
Incorporated in 1897, Valencia was once named Brookside and Sunnyside before adopting its current name with the arrival of the railroad. Many older homes in the borough feature early 20th-century construction prone to poor insulation, leaky ducts, outdated wiring, and inefficient HVAC systems. At Kennihan Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we specialize in upgrading these systems: sealing air leaks, insulating attics, modernizing electrical panels, and installing high-efficiency SEER2 units to meet today’s standards.
Climate Extremes in Valencia
Valencia experiences a humid continental climate. Summers bring warmth and humidity, with average highs in the the 80s and the occasional heatwave. Winters can be harsh: January highs hover near 31°F with lows around 19°F, and snow covers the area roughly 58 days a year, totaling about 14 inches. These conditions stress HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. Seasonal maintenance, proper insulation, duct sealing, and backup heating are essential.
Community Events and Local Life
Valencia buzzes each autumn with events like the Wildbird Migration Festival at Stormy Oaks and "Maized and Confused" and Fall Festival at Freedom Farms. Such gatherings elevate home energy use and system wear. Members of our Grandma Ellie’s Club receive priority service all year and with no overtime charges to prep homes before major community events.

Local Landmarks You’ll Appreciate
- Glade Run Lake: a scenic spot for fishing, kayaking, and evening strolls.
- Stormy Oaks Nature Conservancy: hosts family-friendly bird migration events every September.

These destinations emphasize why healthy indoor environments matter especially when guests and gatherings bring fresh air (and dust) indoors.
Getting Around and Indoor Air Impact
Valencia sits near the southern Butler County border, with commuting thoroughfares stirring road dust and allergens. Regular HVAC tune-ups, duct cleaning, and upgraded filters are key to maintaining indoor air quality and protecting home systems.
