No heat when idling

Hey,
After driving to work and the engine is hot, I parked in my stall and noticed the vents were blowing cool air. All the settings were on hot, and it seemed to be blowing hot air all the way to work. Is this normal? Any ideas? I just changed my coolant last week btw. If that helps any.
Thanks

Burp the cooling system, you may have some air bubbles in it.

^ What he said. If there is air in the system that would cause what your experiencing.

I parked the car at work and let it run with the rad cap off for about 2 hours. Still seems to be blowing cold air at idle. Is there a better way to bleed the air out? Or is there something I'm not doing?

How many miles on your car? Make sure your thermostat is operating by running the vehicle and see if there is temperature difference lower & upper hose.

I have 15000 miles. I'll have to check that, but I hope at 15k that shouldn't
be an issue

you should have heat but not as hot as while your driving since that's is when your water pump is working flowing the coolant. Also when your at idle car fully warmed up try to give little gas to see if heat works.
