Researching Home Insulation

It is now getting cold here in Vegas. By cold I mean high of 50 and low of 31. Sure sure, I've lived on the east coast and know that's not bad, but I've been living in Vegas for about 13 years now. I'm used to the 100 + weather because my Jeep doesn't have A/C. Conversely, my cold tolerance has gone down dramatically. I go for a jacket when it gets around 70 F.

Back on the farm, I noticed my new home was a lot colder than the condo we were living in before. The home was built in 1979 so there is no telling what the R ratings are on the insulation in the exterior walls and attic. I guess its back to research and figure out a plan of attack to see what I can do.

Some of the sites I'm checking out are:
