I have never heard of a way to do this without changing the whole furnace.

Propane furnaces are usually thin steal walled heat exchangers with many burners.

Oil Furnaces have a large burner chamber and then a small heat exchanger above it.

If there is a way, you will need to change the heat exchanger and all electrical components. It may be cheaper in the end to just change the whole furnace.

Can you take a gas furnace that was converted to propane and reconvert it to electric?

There are a variety of gas furnaces that can without much effort be converted from one type of gas to the other, Natural gas and propane gasses work at different pressures; one gas is denser than the other.Converting gas to an electric furnace, you would be gutting almost the entire furnace, and replacing the gas components with electric heating coils, diodes and relays. This will take a lot of man-hours, fabrication, engineering, and parts. while not imposable, the conversion would be very expensive.
