I made a mistake removing my propane heater and replacing it with a heat pump. Fantastic at ac not such much for heat if the temps get below 10 degrees. I bought a pioneer unit that’s rated for ultra low temp. For this winter I’m using an unvented propane heater when it gets cold. Wife hates the smell. Next year I’m going to have to add a better secondary heat source. My calculations show for this winter that I’ve saved about 50 gallons per month in oil $200. And because of the new rates the heat pump has cost me about $180 extra per month. Though I expect that to improve now that I’m turning off the heat pump below 20 degrees. But oh well the ac is incredible

If you can, look at a small pellet stove for extra heat. Propane's double the cost or more per day of use and the wife will probably like the fire heat smell better.
