That's really odd that it wouldn't be blowing hot.
The only thing that would cause that would be a leak (which presumably you'd notice pretty quickly), a blockage (again... I'd suspect you'd notice this), or the cable connecting the dial at either end to have snapped, which is fairly common. When I say dial, I mean the temp dial AND the air selector dial.
It could be stuck in a weird position. But you're getting "normal" air yes? Also, your AC work?

The I would pull the front plate off your dash and verify that the cable is connected properly.
It can really only be one of those things.
I mean silly question, but you're saying the car isn't blowing hot air after it's warmed up right? Also... you're in Miami? The heat should be blowing fine down there I'd imagine.

Ryan... welcome.
I would suggest finding the service manuals if you're not familiar with how the dash comes apart, or search for a how to (might be on here?).
Basically, you pop the CF piece out, pull the knobs off, pull the surround out, find the hidden bolts, and you can expose the cable that way.
It's very easy to do honestly if you're familiar with interior disassembly... but no one likes making a very minor mistake which (on interiors) yield significant interior flaws.
