Yeah, it's a 4-speed; my bad.

What would a decent size heater for this be, around 500W? I'm thinking at 3 hr/night, I'd only consume an extra 45 kWh per month if I had it on every night. At $0.128/kWh, that's $6/month extra electricity. That's not much. I'm saving way more than per month with hypermiling techniques.

Incidentally, I just bought this house in July, and my first home project was replacing all the house's incandescent bulbs with LED's. That alone clipped $20/month off my power bill, and since the home is heated by natural gas, my winter power bills shouldn't be that scary if I have to run a block heater.
