I'm looking for a plant for my home office and am wondering if anyone can
provide some suggestions? Here are the requirements -

Must like central heating (warm/dry)
needs to be tall and bushy, and not sticky outy (going in a narrow gap next
to the door)
evergreen if possible (to lazy to pick up the leaves)

This a common misconception, at least if posts to urg are anything to go
by.
Evergreen plants do not keep their leaves for ever (any more than you
keep your skin for ever). They shed them all through the year, rather
than all at once.

The situation you are offering is not particularly friendly to plants -
too dry an atmosphere, too variable in conditions, and almost certainly
too little light I'd be inclined to go for silk if you want something
that will continue to look good with minimal attention

If you really want a plant, go to your local garden centre to the
houseplants section, look for something with leaves that you like whose
label does not say anything about 'medium to bright light' or 'keep
moist' or 'mist frequently' and without flowers (flowering houseplants
as a rule need more light, and certainly more care if you are to get
them to flower again). Treat it as if it were a long-lasting bunch of
cut flowers - ie be prepared to replace it every few months (this is
what the commercial suppliers of office plants do).

Growing plants successfully indoors needs more care than growing them
out of doors - not only are they relying on you for water, they need
dusting just like everything else does, and you have to keep an eye out
for pests and be prepared to deal with them. While you can spray, the
chemicals which kill pests aren't are probably ones that you want to
have around indoors if toxins from PCs are a major concern to you.
