Block Heater - Functioning?

Was curious a few weeks back with the weather getting cooler here...So I threw the Greenlee on the Block Heater to get some data....

Did Mr. Ohms laws..cheated and found a calculator on google
8.9 amp draw
120Volts AC
1068 Watts...

Saw a post that our PSD either had 1000Watt or 1500 Watt heater options...True???
