Everyone has pretty much answered the question but I figured I'd chime in. My previous rig had the same option for heat. I did the research and arrived at the conclusion that it wasn't worth the effort for all of the reasons people mentioned - mainly that it doesn't generate much heat and the fan is loud.

I don't know what your floor plan is, but I recently got a "fireplace" (basically a 1500 watt heater) to install in a cabinet that I don't really use. I was out there last night when temps had dipped into the high 40s. It does well because it's low to the ground (vs. trying to blow air from above) and because I don't have a ton of space to heat (220RBI). The fan is very quiet too.
