How long it takes a car heater to warm up depends on the temperature outside. In cold weather the heater can take several minutes to warm up.
A heater may not be keeping a house warm because it is too small for the space. An older heater may not be performing as it should. If you are getting no heat from the heater, you may have blown a fuse and should check the circuit breaker box.
Tank water will slowly warm to ambient temperature. It will not get any hotter.
Yes. If the thermostat is not staying closed long enough for the engine to warm up adequately, you will not get heated coolant into the heater core and the heater will not blow warm air. Change the thermostat for a 195 and you should get plenty of heat. It could also be as simple as not having enough coolant. worst case senerio would be a bad heater core.
First of all, the "block heater" is actually an oil or coolant warmer. It will heat the engine oil or engine coolant depending on location installed, and works similarly to an electric water heater. The rate and maximum temperature that the heating element reaches depends on manufacturer. Circulation of the fluid it heats also plays into how long it will take to warm the engine. In general, the larger the motor, the longer it will take to warm and the more power it will require to stay warm. A 7.3L engine will have a higher volume of coolant to heat where as a 5.9L engine.
if the heater does not blow out warm air change the setting.
You may have a clogged heater core, or a leak in the system somewhere. Take your car to a mechanic who can replace the heater core or diagnose the leak.

heater on at idle and will not blow warm air. when moving it blows the warm air from the vents. what will cause this
Isn't a heater supposed to blow warm air?
We need a bit more information about your problem. Does the fan work? Does the car take a long time to warm up? (possible thermostat problem) FriPilot
They may as long as the surrounding air is warm enough and the water chemistry is to their liking.
it is a heater. heat. it blows heat. warm air
