For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.gina, Your question can't be answered with any degree of certainty, as systems vary in size. Things to take into consideration are system design, boiler size, radiator sizes, pipe sizes, also, whether the pump is performing as it should. Generally though, if everything is O.K., your radiators should start to warm a couple of minutes after the boiler has fired.
Hope this helps.
gina......if the temperature in the room is higher than the setting on your thermostic valve then that radiator will not heat up at all. That's the whole idea of pre-setting your comfort level.....you may need to turn the valve up to [say 4] and as pilotlight says the heat should come through in a couple of minutes.
