First make sure that your water pump is ok, since a bad pump will cause no heat due to lack of coolant circulation.

The other possibility is a broken blend door lever...stuck in the cold air position.

Look under the dash to see if your blend door lever is attached and moving.

Blend door foam coming off of the doors / flaps will also cause no heat symptoms.
