In Southern Indiana it will need some type of auxiliary heat, whether it be electric heat strips, propane/NG furnace, or some type of boiler. 90% of the heat pump systems use the electric heat strip method. The "Hybrid" propane furnace option hasn't been around for very long and cost me about $400 more to install than the heat strips "electric furnace" when I was building my house. I use anywhere between 200-400 gallons of propane a winter. Regardless, if a heat pump is installed, it will have some type of auxiliary "Emergency" heat source. I have my "Emergency" heat set to switch at 35 degrees outdoor temperature. Heat pumps are really only efficient to the mid-upper 30's. It will also automatically switch from heat pump to propane if the household temperature gets more than 3 degrees different than the thermostat setting. I highly recommend the Honeywell touchscreen thermostats with outdoor air temperature sensor if you do this.
I worked on a farm for a guy that had an outdoor woodburner unit. He owned a pallet mill, so he burned wood blocks. My job was to feed the beast in the afternoon. It uses a ton of wood, but it is cheap. Others I know have pulp wood delivered to them from a logger. I was thinking of getting this type unit only because I want to be able to heat my 30x40 shop cheaper than installing a propane heater that hangs from the ceiling. I have plenty of fallin trees to cut, I just hate cutting it.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
