Take the tour ×  The master bedroom in my parent's house tends
to be the coolest room in the house, and my father complains
it's too cold. The A/C register in the ceiling does have a flow
adjustment lever, but it's difficult for my 80-year-old dad to
reach and adjust. I tried to attach a pull wire, but the lever
is just a slightly bent strip of metal, and I can't manage to
tie anything to it securely enough to be usable.  Does anybody
make a register that's easier for the elderly to adjust? Where
can I find it? A register with a built-in thermostat might work,
too. Is there such a thing?  Or does someone have another idea
about keeping the room from getting too cold (without the rest
of the house becoming too hot)?  share|improve this question add
