The heater is blowing air out but it is cold. We just had the radiator flushed and a new thermostat put on.

1. No water in the system.
2. Heater fan is bad.
3. Heater controls are malfunctioning.

I would think its the thermostat that's staying open,or the heater core is blocked,or the heater control valve is not working.All possibilities. Good luck!

Heater core could have gone bad.
Car not warming up due to sticking thermostat, that'll also give you cold air. Does your temp gauge rise?

check that the heater fan is working first....then check the coolant level to make sure its ok...if its low...fix the leak....and replace the thermostat. check the fuses and all the controls....the heater core could have a leak as well....which would leak your coolant...and you would have a wet carpet inside the car....
good luck..!!!

Check your antifreeze level in the auto radiator. Low level of antifreeze is usually the culprit. Add antifreeze when cold and make sure you fill the reserve tank too.
Given that, a defective system requires a mechanic.

Let's see... blown fuse, fan doesn't work, bad heater coil, faulty controls, etc.

EITHER YOUR HEATER IS GONE OR IT COULD BE A FUSE COULD BE GONE. OR IT COULD BE YOUR HEATER MOTOR IS GONE.
