Where Butler Families Live and Connect

As the county seat located 35 miles north of Pittsburgh, Butler is home to approximately 13,500 residents and has a population density of nearly 5,000 people per square mile. Families frequent Alameda Park, the Butler Area Public Library (the last Carnegie library built in PA in 1921), the Butler Little Theatre, and the Butler County Courthouse. These hubs host events, community meetings, and recreation, keeping local homes busy with HVAC and plumbing needs.

Butler’s History and Home Performance Impact

Founded in 1793 and incorporated as a city in 1918, Butler achieved its industrial heyday through steel, automotive, and military vehicle manufacturing including the original Jeep. Many residential areas include early 20th-century homes prone to insulation issues, aging wiring, and leaky ducts. At Kennihan Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we upgrade older systems to meet PA’s SEER2 and electrical code standards, ensuring your home performs like new.

Summer Humidity and Harsh Winters

Butler’s climate is humid continental, with warm summers and snowy winters. Average July highs reach 82°F and January lows dip to 20°F. Annual precipitation totals around 50 inches, with frequent snow from October through April. These extremes strain HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, so seasonal tune-ups, insulation, duct sealing, and backup heating are essential.

Where the Community Comes Together

Local highlights like Historic Pullman Park (baseball and events), the Butler Historic District (Victorian-era architecture), and St. Peter’s Anglican Church foster vibrant gatherings. During busy seasons, HVAC and plumbing systems see high usage. Members of our Grandma Ellie’s Club receive priority service and waived overtime fees, perfect for preparing before festivals, fairs, and summer nights at the park.

Local Favorites You’ll Appreciate

Getting Around And How It Impacts Indoor Air Quality
