Often means coolant is low or the system needs to be bled.

The heater gets its heat from the engine cooling system. If the cooling system is low on fluid, or has an airlock, it would be expected that you wouldn't get heat in the passenger compartment.

Failed heater control valve possibly? If the seals fail often they clog up preventing coolant flow. Or they fail open and you have hot coolant going through the core at all times... seen both happen.

Not necessarily screwed yet. Please verify that you have checked coolant level and bled the system.
