Another way to keep the place from freezing up is to get a direct vent propane heater that continues to make heat, even when the electricity is down. Running on the pressure in the propane tank, it continues to make heat without having power to run the blower fan using something called a Piezo 12-volt electric system or something.

Works good in smaller homes installed someplace central in the basement or somewhere.

All propane heaters installed in Canada have to have this feature by Canada law, and there's a number of different heaters that can be used.
