Currently propane is $1.89 so roughly $3,800 a year.

That seems like a lot of consumption for a 2500sqft energy star rated home. Our last house was 4300sqft, not insulated well, and used 2000 gallons of LP a year. Water off the boiler, new Prestige Solo boiler with hydro air handlers.
Our current one uses about 1300-1400 gallons of oil a year, 4800sqft with a lot of cathedral spaces. 2004 Buderus oil boiler with hydro air handlers. Fairly well insulated but certainly not up to energy star standards.
