With other vents and doors closed it will take less time for the temperature to reach the desired setting, thereby turning the AC off more often. Leaks under the house are definitely a concern - in any matter. If this is something you are experiencing then you are having heating and cooling loss no matter what you do. A professional should definitely be called in to deal with those sorts of situations.

It causes your furnace to work harder and will force air out any leaks under the house. You should not close vents to rooms.
