With whatever propane equipment you use for backup heat, what is the ignition source to ignite the propane?
Can you tell this is why I call the furnace guy when I have a problem?

Sorry to butt in, but I can answer that as I have a propane stove in my camp. The pilot is lit with the same type of piezoelectric actuator push button thing a ma jig you have on your outdoor grill. I leave my pilot running year round. The thermostat uses simple AA batteries.
Being on an island and realizing the power could go out for extended periods is why I went with propane as back up and really glad I did!!
