in our house the radiatos hold very little water, the heat up fast and they go cold within 10mins of the heating being switched off, but they still take a good bit of time to warm the rooms (maybe if i dry lined all the internal walls, it would be quicker, but the house would be cold within an hour of the heating being turned off)

normal radiators and setting a time switch to come on an hour before you return would be a lot better
