Propane Furnace vs. Electric Space Heater

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could save money by using space heaters instead of the furnace on the about 7-10 days a month I can't use the heat pumps down here in SC during winter.

Which costs less to heat the Coach?

Thanks for ur input :)

    If it gets below 40 you will want to use the electric heaters to supplement the furnace as the electric won't be enough, and you should run the propane furnace in freezing weather to help keep the tanks and pipes warmed. Espsecially true if it's windy.
