The propane side of the heating equation is not so good, although the furnace is rated at 95% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) and it is maintained annually.
BH, curious if the geothermal system that cost $150 a month to run includes the proportional installation cost of the GTH system.

Yes, this kid of hybrid system is a good improvement over propane-only, but it is not really in the same league as Mitsubishi mini splits, which are effective even at 5 or 10 below zero.
I appreciate these posts--I have mini splits in Mass, but only traditional in NH. I'm going to check out both the hybrid furnace and the condensing water heater as Summer projects.
