I'm those folks! Installed a cold climate heat pump two years ago after a particularly hefty propane bill.

There's a tipping point around -20 C or so where it's cheaper to use propane vs heat pump but I usually can't be bothered.

Backup generator or V2L will also run the furnace in a blackout.

The only acceptable reason for this to be day-old is if you started received it at 2359.
