My A/C works, fans work on all speed settings, car does not overheat, blower motor works... But I have no heat. Just blows cold air.

First with the engine cold check the coolant level, With the engine hot, see if the heater hoses are hot as well, if not you may have a clogged heater core, or the temperature blend door actuator is not working.

here is a guide to help you with the temperature blend door actuator location in the diagrams below:

Coolant level is okay, heater hoses get hot too. Just no heat gets into the car.

Yep, this means the temperature blend door actuator is not working, I would change it out.
