I have a block heater in my H3. I got to use it a few nights last week when the thermometer dipped into the -20's. Worked fine.
It’s my understanding that the OEM block heater it is a coolant type heater and not a variant of an oil heater. I have always heard that a coolant heater is preferable and more efficient in starting the engine during really cold temperatures.
I ordered my H3 with the block heater, so it cost me only $20 or $25. $250 does seem a bit high for parts and installation, I can’t imagine that it requires a terrible amount of labor to get the thing in, but then again I could be wrong on that.
