On the highway, it takes me about 5-7 miles to heat the engine up. I drive 10 miles to school everyday, and at 55+ stop signs and slowing at speed zones It takes about 15 minutes to get there. so it takes about half the drive to warm up the vehicle.

I'd like the vehicle to be warm when I get in it already. Saving me some $$$

then the engine is transferring about 5000W to the coolant, just to put a 1300W heating system into perspective.
Are you saying I should put in a 1300Watt heating system in?
