No heat inside cab

1997 F150 XLT 4.6L.

My a/c runs whenever I select any heat setting. Just had a radiator flush and fill, t'stat replaced. Any idea what the problem could be and what is the skill level needed to repair.

Thanks

The A/C is set to run automatically on Fords it is not a problem. all the A/C does is put out dry heat to defrost better and dry the air out. when you put the selsctor on floor or defrost and put it on max heat does it come out hot, if so you are good to go.
