There are Way Too many factors to respond with a real answer : building size, how well it is insulated, outside temp, how big the heater is, etc,etc,

I can only say that it does not take long at all, because radiant heat tube heats objects (I.E. Cement, Metals, etc) & not the air.

My example ..... I keep both of mine at 55 degrees minimum, when I go into the shop I turn the one in the main part of the building up to 70 deg. (if that is where I am working) That room is approx. 56 x 40, 14ft ceiling & very well insulated. Within 15 minutes it is shutting off on its own.

God Bless
