By comparison the 2400 watt heater only warmed the coolant 12'F per pass.
This one I am thinking turn the key to on (not starting the engine) that will get the electric coolant pump going, turn the heater to "defrost" and instantly start to defrost the wind shield and heat the engine some with out running the engine.
Most mornings here a 20'F to 25'F increase in coolant temperature going to the heater core should be enough to start melting frost almost instantly.
Then if its cold, and not frosty, just leave the heater off and send all the heat to the engine block
