Sure it'll work. The heatpump will love running in 60 degree air. :)
Well, IF that little heater could actually pull enough power to keep that enclosure when the heatpump is sucking the heat out in massive amounts. Those heatpump coils get COLD and they move a LOT of air over them to warm them. Say that little heater made the enclosure 60 degrees, the heatpump switches on and it would cool that room in seconds and that little heater would not be able to make a dent. The heapump would then be unable to find enough heat to be effective at all and eventually it'd resort to using backup/strip heat.
Also from just a logical standpoint IT IS A STUPID IDEA. Essentially he's going to pay to use electrical resistance heat to heat the air in an enclosure then use the heatpump to pump that heat into the house--it'd be far more efficient to just use the electrical resistance heat in his house.
