My heater is working erratically. It will defrost the windshield. but the cabin temperature does not reach the temperature that I set it at. The blower is fine but all I get is cool air blowing.

Sounds like you may have a faulty heater exchange valve. When these fail coolant is restricted into the heater case producting merely cool air out of you a/c vents. The heater exchange valve is located on the firewall. Follow the heater hoses to the metal exchange block on the firewall.
