My boiler was turned off for a week. I turned have since turned it on. How long before the water is hot?

Answer:

I assume by boiler you mean hot water heater. It should be warm within a few hours(3-4). If not, make sure it is still lit. most have a tricky to start pilot light (if it's gas powered). This can vary between different sizes of heaters and what powers them.
