So if they ask people to cut back on electricity use, can you cut back AC to just a few rooms to chill in? Or are you stuck with the whole house?

    Not usually, but you can close the vents in certain rooms and close the door to reduce the amount of air pushed through them. And some fancier thermostats may have multiple remote sensors you can use to tell the thermostat to maintain temperature in certain places while ignoring others.

      So… yes?

        It’s not really the same as a system capable of actively cooling or not cooling certain rooms. It’s a much more manual process, which I guess it’s two parts: where you open or close vents and doors and from where your thermostat is reading the temperature.
