From the days of my Heat and AC course, the largest heat loss is flow through. Second is attic, third is walls and windows.
You said that you have little traffic in the house that's good. You have plenty of attic insulation that too is good. However, how much insulation do your attic ducts have? There is a tremendous amount of heat load that can be acquired from duct absorption alone and especially in ranch style homes where the runs are long and of a large diameter, there are a lot of square inches of surface area involved and have to tolerate the 140 degree or so attic temp.
You did not say that those 2x6 walls were filled with insulation and if not that's bad. That 1" of foam is just not that great.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
