Welcome

Welcome to the AS forum Berry5 -

From an earlier Google search I found this, to give you some idea of the conventional methods of heat... I would be curious to what others get also.

Propane Hot register temperature - Approx. 115-135 degrees
Natural Gas Hot register temperature - Approx. 115-135 degrees
Heat Pump Heat feels cold - register temperature Approx. 80- 95 degrees

This is what I get currently, which seems to heat up our house pretty quick.

Here is a post when I installed my 120,000 BTU 18"x18" exchanger..

My dual fuel furnace heat pump/propane made a cool 82 degrees with the heat pump and 112 to 115 on propane but there was a giant sucking sound coming from my propane tank and my wallet.
The H4 Hardy OWB easily runs 118 degrees on short run times. I have never raised the thermostat above 68 to see what the max temp would be with a longer run time.
My average monthly savings on electricity (hot water) and propane runs around $250
