Perhaps not so common now but certainly was not unusual for people of this age group. 
Does she want central heating? Quite a lot of disruption to install a new system. Would electric panel heaters be a compromise. Also worth looking to see what grant assistance might be available.

The most expensive form of hearing other than burning whichever £ notes are not yet plastic, not a good idea at all.

Storage heaters can be okay if set up and used properly, modern ones are apparently miles better than the old ones.


Benefits-wise, and for help to install heating if she wants, AgeUK as mentioned above is a good recommendation.

Has she had or applied for the £200 Alternative Fuel Payment?  Buying bottled gas would mean she qualifies.

I live in sheltered housing.  There are 33 properties and we are in the middle of the installation of new storage heaters.  They are called Quantum heaters and you have a lot more control than you had with the older type.
