AFAIK the windshield washer nozzles are heated only to prevent them from freezing solid when wet from rain or covered by snow.
The washer liquid should have some anti-freezing component and does not need being heated.
Usually it contains some alcoholic stuff that evaporates on the windshield and cools it down; making it fog up on the inside.
Come winter I use an insulated sunshade on the window instead.
It even keeps the car warmer by half a degree by blocking the cold sky faced surface. I usually don't have to deice the side windows when I use it; just the rear window.
I may start covering the rear window too. That must help even more.
