So everyone has covered the uselessness of the hose.

Now, your cabin does not heat up fast enough with Volvo 240 heater? YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. There are a list of things that can cause this but I would start with a failed open thermostat, flush the heater core and check for vac leak causing the recirc door to not not function.

If none of that works, I suggest you dig deeper. My 1990 240 was slower to warm my sedan than my 1978 was to warm my wagon but both stopped barely short of causing pain at full tilt. The 1990, once warm, could melt an 1/8" of ice fog off the windshield in 10 minutes...the rest of the car in 10 more.
