If the car has sat for more than a couple weeks at any given time, there could be a mouse nest inside the heater box. That's what happened to my car. Winter before last, it sat outside. Last fall I noticed no heat at all coming from the ducts.
This spring I flipped the blower on and it was making abnormal noise at high speed.
Took the blower out and there was enough chewed up hood insulation in there to choke a mule. I could still get neutral air to come out the vents, but it was completely blocking the the air from the heater core. They even knawed off bits of the swirl cage. If they had gotten through that, they would have been inside the car.
Anyways, I'd be checking for that even if you don't think the car sat still long enough.
