put heat inside the car when it's 30 degrees
outside how long should it take and do you think

it needs a new thermostat? Middle of the gauge

The thermostat in it now sounds like it is working fine but the temp rating is low for your area, if it also get hot there in summer you may wish to change it back out before weather changes again or get the next step up temp rating instead of the highest temp rated thermostat.
