...No idea what a furnace system is like. Every house I've lived in has had an HVAC.
When I was young we had a coal furnace. It was forced air but you had to shovel coal into the hearth. Which means that you had to remove the ashes every so often. You didn't want the fire to go out on a cold winter night. There was a room made for coal delivery. There was an outside door/shute to fill the "coal bin". All of this was in the basement of the house. I'm thinking it was replaced by a gas forced air furnace in the late fifties.
