It seems the folks in Mayberry County couldn't make up their mind what sort of heating system the courthouse should have. As has been mentioned, in certain episodes there is a large gas heater in the corner.
However, when Barney industriously cleans the room in preparation for Gentleman Dan Caldwell's visit, Andy remarks "This place ain't been so clean since the boiler busted and flooded the place," which seems to imply that they once had steam radiators or some such. Further, when Barney puts Newton Monroe to work, he makes him go to the basement (which we never see) to clean the furnace, which is said to have a flue. From the huge cloud of black smoke that billows up soon afterward, I would guess there was a coal-burning furnace down there.
