It could be a head gasket or cracked head. With the engine cold, take the radiator cap off and crank the engine. If the head gasket is bad coolant should shoot out of the radiator. 12 inches to possibly hitting the hood.

What does your car take a long time before you get heat?
The simplest answer might be that it is just low on coolant. It may not overheat, but there is not enough to get up to the heater. Thermostat may be stuck open, Heater core may be plugged. One of these may be the answer if it is a new problem, if it does it every year, it may not have a hot enough thermostat. Water level first thing, then thermostat. You can try covering 1/2 of the radiator with a piece of cardboard. This will cause the coolant to heat quicker, but be careful it doesn't get too hot. HEATER CORE IS GOING BAD
