There should be a way to tell all houses to use a preferred fuel type to heat their homes.
I have only ever seen the 'stop using coal in houses' mod. You can see it both in the steam workshop and at banishedinfo . com.
However, I agree with estherhb 100%, getting better balance and profit with charcoal is worth the time and effort, in the long run.
I have a lot less aversion to demolishing buildings these days. I'm no longer anxious about build-cost and time investment to have 4 stacks burners near my sawmills, but later tearing buildings down and reclaiming space for housing (or even happiness-radius stuff like libraries). Sometimes I even let my foresters go, and let the trees do as they like, when my fuel needs have leveled out and I'm using 10-15% of the firewood that I was using during growth.
Upgrades to housing both reduces how much fuel they need, and tends to happen later when prosperity and balance are greater. For me, this also contributes to less firewood use.
Have fun!
