or just TALK to your partner and ask them to turn the heater off?

She's probably only turning it on to spite him anyway.

As do reverse cameras when hooking up the caravan..... My old man now refers to his as the marriage saver.

Furthermore.... you don't ever touch a white mans heater. Don't matter colour he is... you just don't touch the heater. Bitch please.

Backing straight up with ball under hitch instead of getting out of car 2-3 times was worth heaps more than camera option

Scaring the crap out of everyone in the caravan park when you reverse up to your van that quickly..... priceless.

If you do want to do it, the best way will be to inhibit the operation of the heater hose valve.

The heater hose valve looks like the image below, it operates on vacuum when the heater is on, allowing hot engine coolant to flow through the heater core.

If you put a tie-wrap around the mechanism it will prevent the valve opening without doing any harm.

Where do I put to tie? And where is the valve located?? :D

She will be kicking his arse when the heat fails to come.

By the sounds of this thread, she's probably used to things failing to come in their household.
