I have heard that the frame (vinyl) houses are better insulated than the block houses because there is more room for insulation. I have a frame designer built in 2009 and facing north. All I know is that if i don't turn the heat on on a cold day the temperature drops to about 66 and stays there. If I turn the heat up to 70, it warms up to 70, I turn it off and it stays there until the next really cold snap. Never had moisture on windows. Running heat is much more expensive than running AC so I try to do it as little as possible
