A common cause is a broken temperature door in the dash.
Very big repair job.
See CHEVY EQUINOX and Pontiac TORRENT no heat below...

Heat blend door. Yes a VERY expensive repair and it is becoming quite the popular problem in 2006 equinox but Chevrolet will not do anything about it.

websites I have found where people have complained about the air blend door. First off the Chevrolet dealer wants you to come in and pay ($85 at our dealership) to get the problem "diagnosed" (even though I told him what the problem was) then the cost to fix it ranges from just over $1,000 to $1,500 because they basically have to remove the entire dash to get to the air blend door only to replace it with another inferior product.
