Check simple stuff too,-in my company truck the water pump was leaking. When the coolant level went down, I couldn't get much heat, so check the coolant level.

I just popped the hood and checked the coolant level...looks way low. What would cause this, is it an indicator of another problem? In any case, I will buy coolant tomorrow to top it off. I've never bought coolant, what type do I get, or is there no choice?
You seems to have a leak somewhere. Look for green or red drips around the engine or on the driveway. The kind you need is sometimes vehicle specific, so check your owners manual or it maybe even be on a sticker on the filler neck.
I also realized, after talking to someone at work, that filling the overflow tank with coolant doesn't do much....I didn't know enough to fill the radiator directly (after letting the car cool down).
I'll be doing that tonight.
