She could technically close it but then the neighbours would complain. I would hate that as most of the time I use no heating (or cooling) at all. Also, I wouldn't like to pay for it if I don't even use it. PS: I live in a nicely mild-climated mediterranean coastal city so I can imagine "not using the heater" is not really a done thing if you live in Finland :)
