Just something to think about...

The comparison between heat pumps and fossil fuel heaters is a little more difficult to calculate, but important because electricity is the most expensive energy source to buy. Also it sounds like she has a duct system already so she would be able to install a central system with a heat pump for less money. If I have time next week I'll try to do a comparison.
