Most homes in the town heat with propane, and many now pair the propane furnace with a cold-climate heat pump so the propane only burns in deep cold. All-electric setups work too, but a heat pump alone needs a properly sized backup for the coldest nights. The right mix depends on the house, your propane contract and your electric rate, so we run a Manual J and compare the options on paper.

Check with the town first. Oak Grove requires permits for most structures and remodels and uses a contracted building inspector, while Pierce County handles zoning and sanitary permits. Wisconsin's Uniform Dwelling Code sets the statewide rules for one- and two-family homes. We confirm with the inspector what an equipment swap needs before scheduling and handle the permit when one is required.

Mount it on a stand or wall bracket high enough to clear drifts, on the side of the house that gets the least wind and away from roof runoff. Heat pumps run defrost cycles regularly in winter, so the ground below needs to drain rather than ice up. A wind baffle or a spot sheltered by the house helps on exposed lots. We check the defrost cycle and backup heat at each tune-up.

A common setup is a cold-climate heat pump for most of the year with a propane furnace or electric backup for the coldest nights, plus an HRV or ERV, since a new house built to Wisconsin's code is tight. Size everything from a room-by-room Manual J, not square footage. Plan the propane tank and outdoor unit locations early, so the driveway, drifts and bedroom windows all work.
