I do have a follow up question about your newer houses, is your upstairs colder than your main floor? The main reason I was looking into the windows is that my upstairs is freezing! At 22.5 degrees on the main floor, my upstairs is 16-17 degrees and I have all the registers open.
I was considering hiring someone to check out the heat loss before my 1 year check up comes up in March.
Every house I've ever had is way hotter upstairs, so I'm not sure if it's a newer house thing, but both my kids have to have heaters in their rooms just to keep their rooms at 19 to sleep.

The heat differential is weird. I assume you only have a thermostat on the main floor? Are the Kid's rooms above the garage?
I would pop your head into the attic to make sure the insulation is spread out appropriately and there's a reasonable amount. Since you've had a lot of moisture in the air, look for ice building on the roof of the attic which would indicate warm, moist air leaking from somewhere.
For a new house, a 6 degree difference is not acceptable.
