If you want to save money, think about a gas water heater and new gas forced air furnace. Most people spend more money heating water than anything else.

Insulating those floors would make them warmer and save you some money. Make sure you have adequate ceiling insulation, and look at what you can do to cut air infiltration. Caulking, storm windows and doors, weatherstripping. Those are the cheap things.

My 28-year-old electric coil heat/central air unit was getting tired, so I ran the numbers this past year and put in a new standard dual-cycle heat pump. It runs one heating coil when the heat pump is heating to make it "feel" warmer.

It would have taken forever to pay back the extra cost of a high-efficiency propane unit. The water-exchange heat pumps cost a lot more than that. The heat pump combo was only a couple hundred more than the electric coil unit.
