Default Electric throttle body heater mod?

Hi all, I've been chasing a slow coolant leak and finally traced it to my throttle body heater. I've heard of plenty people deleting the heater plate, but I live in an area that gets cold weather and travel to places that have lots of snow and ice. Thus, a delete doesn't seem prudent. Has anyone added an electric heater in place of the coolant-based heater? Is there some reason that would be a bad idea?
