EDIT 2: What my roommate and I want to do is simply close off all the heating vents except the ones to his room, because he doesn't like being cold. Since the thermostat is downstairs in the living room, I'm guessing we can't do that. If we close off all the vents his room will get hot while the thermostat downstairs will constantly read a low temperature and constantly be turned on.
Any solutions so that the thermostat can get temperature information from just his room?
EDIT: If you say, have the heat set to turn on at 50 degrees, where does the thermostat get that temperature reading? One room in particular or are there thermometers in every room?
Basically we're looking for a solution that will enable us to heat just one room with our central heating and hopefully save money.
