One oil filled radiator does NOT create an inordinate increase in the
electric bill, and they are much cheaper than a 3 to 6 THOUSAND dollar split
system. For a fifty buck outlay you can plug in a rad and have a nice
toasty room, no huge projects.

Hi Bill;
That would definitely solve the temperature issue, but might burden them
with much higher electric bills.
Budget is usually a big consideration. They would
likely be ahead to spend more on an efficient mini- -split heat pump system,
that would be 2-3 time
as efficient. But, if they have natural gas, then
improving the hot air circulation, may represent their most elegant option.
