It is possible that the thermostat is stuck open, thus not allowing the engine to reach sufficient higher temperatures for proper heating, or the water pump may be too slow (or stuck) to allow the proper coolant circulation through the heater unit, or the switch/flap "controls" (or vacuum system) to the heater unit may be faulty (or stuck) so as never to engage into "heat" mode, or the heating unit/coils may be so clogged that it is no longer effective for giving off hot heat, even though the coolant temperature itself is hot enough, or you may have the wrong thermostat for that vehicle (thermostats have different operating temperatures per specific vehicle).

It could be the thermostat on the engine. If the engine does not warm up adequately the heater will never blow hot air.
