I tried an hour or two, and it raised the temperature to 50*F when it was 15*F out. That temperature plunged rapidly upon engine startup.
My electric bill hasn't noticed much of a change either way. It's a 400-watt Kats coolant heater plumbed into the lower radiator hose on the opposite side of the system from the thermostat.
