If I turned the fan up I know I can (because I have before) cool the engine down. This all changes once summer rolls around. So, I'll have to plan something for then.

Yeah, what I meant was that your engine produces more heat.
So until it gets hot, you need a warm hat and a good pair of gloves, so that the heater doesn't rob the engine of what heat it has.
In the summer the insulation can be lighter, since there is a smaller DeltaT.
