I think you're right. This is the first house I've lived in that wasn't CBS since living almost all my life in Florida. Once the inside of our house gets cold it stays that way for a long time even though the outside temps are quite warm. It doesn't take much to keep it from getting cold though. I also have found that if you have carpeting which most people are pulling up and replacing with tile, adds warmth to the house over cold tile floors. Think about it, as the ground gets cold so does the slab that your house is built on. If you cover the concrete with ceramic tile it only transfers the cold to your homes interior. But, if you cover that slab with foam padding and carpeting it insulates that cold slab from your homes interior , making the heat work less and the electric bill smaller.
