Dealing with a heating system that takes too long to operate

My sibling struggled with her outdated heating system before she found a lasting solution, then every time I would visit her in winter, she would attempt to switch it on only to fail.

When her eldest child tried it, the heating system would take too long to turn on.

This had been going on for a while; Having a background in Heating and Air Conditioning systems, I knew that this was a problem! Under normal circumstances, the heating system should turn on instantly when it is switched on! My sibling’s heating system was taking too long to heat her space, indicating something off. My first suspicion was that the circuit breaker was always off every time they tried to switch on the heating system. However, one look at the breaker box confirmed that everything was alright in there. My second recognize was to check the thermostat. There was a high probability that it was malfunctioning and the settings were too low! It turns out that I was right. The thermostat setting was too low, and the heating system was struggling to kick in instantly since it registered the low hot and cold temperatures. I adjusted the thermostat set to a higher temperature, and it was easier for them to start the heating system now. However, I noticed that the thermostat was not the best for their heating system and proposed on an replace. I also asked my sibling to keep an eye on the fuel levels, always check the pilot light and ignition for faults, and consider plugged filters, however besides the thermostat, a heating system is likely to fail when it is plugged, or the other elements are faulty, a easy annual finetune session can service such complications..
