It only helps, wether it's 30 F or -30 F.
I'm with you. I can't see where it hurts the engine at all. 1000 watts versus what burning the fuel in the engine puts out is really insignificant. Heck, I even leave mine plugged in after starting while I do stuff like scrape the ice off windows. I even tried to drive off with it plugged in the other day.
