Hi Christopher,
I doubt the propane would run out in two hours. Nor would I run low on 12 volt power to run the propane furnace. Power failure may be as simple as someone accidentally unplugging a cord by bumping it.

If you are worried about failover, then portable or baseboard with thermostats are about the only options. Don't forget AC power goes out, but propane runs out as well.
