My heat works on and off. It'll blow hot air for awhile and then turn ice cold as if the air conditioning is on, what is the cause of this? The mechanic told me I need a new water pump but I don't see any coolant leaking or have any engine overheating issues.

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
