This would be wrong. Most engines need heater settings selected to bleed air when changing coolant.
The coolant must work through the heater coil as the pipe work acts to cool.
Would it work if you idled for a long.... period of time?
The fans rarely need to work in most commutes, as the thermostat opens, the coolant through the radiator should do the trick (and do it better than the coil in the cabin).
