The previous owner, who built the house, was/is an HVAC/Plumbing contractor. It was built with the geothermal as the primary heat source, but with propane system as a back-up and/or supplemental system. In the winter, we set the thermostat for the back-up heat system pretty low...in the 50's. This saved our bacon several years ago when the geothermal pump failed while we weren't at the house for a few weeks.
