I looked this up and all I could find was [0], saying there are a small number of households using it in Pennsylvania. As for the rest of PA and New England, natural gas is the norm and I haven't heard of anyone using coal. Houses that don't have natural gas lines use storage tanks in the yard that are topped off by a delivery truck every couple months.
