I'm not sure where you are located, in colder climates the geothermal systems have trouble pulling enough heat out of the ground, so a secondary heat source may still be needed.
I work with a guy who had a $4000 propane bill for one winter. The next year he spent $2000 on a coal stove, and spent only $500 to heat his home with. That was 3 years ago and he hasn't looked back.

Many people have the belief that coal is dirty to burn, but it's not. Wood stoves give off more smoke and odor than the coal does.
Next year I plan to upgrade my oil furnace to a stoker coal furnace. At $2000 oil cost per year, I don't quite have the cost savings you guys with propane have... Good luck.
