Looking for some suggestions from the Forum about backup heat sources for my Condo.

Currently have oil heat, by forced hot water. Furnace is 20+ years, and have made MANY parts replacements. Concerned when I am away for sometiems days at a time, that furnace will go out. I know about 'freeze alarms' and they're all well and good, but looking at a backup heat source for the condo.
Possibly a Monitor heater?

On that note, do they make monitor heaters that runs on propane? I know what you're saying.... 'You already have the oil tank in place, to deliver Kerosene, use that for Monitor heater source' !
Looking to steer away from oil, if possible?

Thanks,
Bigdog
