If you keep whole rooms closed off over winter (as with my spare bedroom) you can end up with a damp problem. We kept our spare clothes in the wardrobe in the winter and without any heat for the coldest couple of months the stuff went moldy. So be sure to warm it enough that that won't happen.

But if you're wasting money simply because you want style over functionality, then you (the generic you, not picking on you specifically) should rethink your priorities.

Although I do agree with your strategy of closing vents in unused rooms. That's what I do during the day when most time is spend in the living and office area. I close the bedroom door and vents to keep warm air in the living areas. -Raymond Ok…haha that looks, for a lack of a better word – ghetto.
