Down here in south central FL, what I do to minimize lugging 30 lb. tanks around for refills, is supplement the propane w/electric. We have a small electric "fireplace", that takes up very little floor space. It has a low (500W) and high (1,000W) setting.
We keep thermostat at 72, and just before going to bed, I check forecast, and if the low is to be under 46, I turn heater on HIGH. If forecast is 46-55, I turn on LOW. Works great! Propane heater comes on only once or twice at night.
