That why you need a water softner to keep the scale down /just like water treatment for a boiler plant or chiller plant

LOL both her and my aunt living there talk of random unexplained sounds in the night and lights coming on at odd times. They have both learned to co-exist with the spirits. They (the living) are in good hands.
My last bill was $125, this with the wife keeping the place near tropical.
Built this place with 6 inch walls, R-12 zip sheating which makes for a R-30 wall with minimal thermal bridging, R-10 under the basement slab and on the basement walls. Glad I did.

Here is a great article I found in last week’s edition of the Lancaster Farming newspaper. It details the different sources of heat and their costs.

Heating Fuels Options for Budget-Friendly Winter Warmth in Pennsylvania
Colder winter temperatures call for more heating fuel, but steady fuel prices and cost-saving measures can help manage these seasonal expenses.

Coal for my grandfathers house was free, the shortline that went from the mine to the power plant ran right beside his property and so much coal fell out of the cars that every summer he would go down to the tracks and pick it up.

When we had our home built in 2000 we upgraded the insulation and windows at the time the highest bill was 90$ 1 or 2 times in the summer & winter most of the time it was 73-88 a month but since then with the incrase of electric its went up a 100 dollars sometimes less
They still sell 'house coal' up in WMd/SWPa.

That's usually the cheap low quality stuff. My favorite Italian restaurant cooks with a coal oven, they get coal delivered in bags about the size of a 10lb bag of potatoes.
It is soft coal. You could tell the sulfur content based on the smoke from the chimney. I wouldn't be surprised if restaurants used hard coal. Pizza from a coal fired oven is the best.

You mentioned your wife was from Fairmont didn't you? If you're nearby check this place out. Hoagies and wings from the coal oven are also great. https://miamargherita.com/
My wife's sister lives in Fairmont. Sounds like we'll be making a trip over to visit this spring.

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
And we have a huge natural gas line running though the area, with Cove Point LNG siphoning and liquefying it to send across the Atlantic, and still can't get natgas to people's homes.

Oh Boy, do you get a Pepperoni Roll with Boiled Cajun Peanuts while you are there?
And finish lunch off sitting in the town square, with a Banana Moon Pie and a Strawberry Yoo-Hoo.
