PTC heater

How does the PTC heater work and how do I check it, should I get heat instantly ?

Mine provides heat on a frosty morning well within a mile of starting and leaving home.

If you use the search facility on the site you will find some useful info - an example -

Not instantly, but pretty quickly.
It's very common for the PTC to fail, or the fuse and relay powering it. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car.
2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone.
2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone.
Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver.
1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project.
