Do you even know what a heat pump is?

Yeah, I caught that. I'll have to ask my HVAC guy if he can install a "heat pump" for me that runs on propane.



Your HVAC guy will probably recommend a hybrid heat pump system. Yes,
they make them. It's a traditional air or ground water heat pump with
a propane fueled heater as well. Makes sense for climates where the
air temp drops to the point where the heat pump side becomes too
inefficient.

Yes, I know they exist.
