You can leave it on all night, but it's a waste of money and energy.
Put a timer on it and have it come on a couple of hours before you need
to go.  The coolant will easily be warm by then.  I'm legit...i live in
the Tundra called Minnesota! ;)

Please note that this advise comes from a guy in CALIFORNIA!  I'm
surprised
George has even heard of a block heater.  LOL!
