I think this depends on a few parameters - engine type and size, outdoor temperature, how much heat you want/need, etc. A few members here have reported no or negligible difference, while in my
idling experiment turning the heat from OFF to MAX dropped the coolant temperature from 65°C to 55°C (149°F to 131°F).
