This way if you run your central heat to just one room, it will reach the temp you desire much faster thus using less energy. It's ideal for homes where you need to cool specific areas like the TV room or bedroom at night, without having to keep the entire house at a specific tempertature.

I'm already down to a single room, of a sorts. I'm in an apartment, and I've moved my bed out into the empty dining room, and so I just heat this area which is roughly 60% of the apartment.
I've been lucky the last few days, as I've stayed 2+ degrees above my central setpoint. But my space heater takes a lot of fiddling, as it tends to run away during the day, or on warmer days, and if it's set low when it gets cold, the central cycles prematurely. I should mention the space heater has a dumb thermostat.
