Thank you for your inquiry.

Your furnace operates on LP. It does have 12 volts connected to it but only for the control board. The furnace itself will not operate on 12 volts alone.

They’re just saying the furnace won’t work without propane.

I hate to ask, but is it possible that any “heat” you have gotten in the past has been from heat pump or electric heat strips in your A/C unit? Is it possible that even when on shore power or generator that your propane furnace isn’t actually heating at all?

Like I said, I hate to ask, but others here are assuming the propane furnace works on shore power and I’m not certain that is necessarily a given based on what you have written.

Also, while asking to rule out possibilities, have you done one of those electric heat strip upgrades to your furnace?
