One of our heat pumps uses propane for heat and electric for backup.
The
other is only electric. But we need propane to run the hot water
heater,
stovetop, and fireplace. No hot water = unhappy wife. 
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.
It is indeed a hybrid system...air heat pump/furnace that runs on
electricity in temperate or hot conditions, propane backup when it is
too cold outside to extract heat.
Your buddy in Florida is a moron.
