Too little insulation results in higher heating costs and, perhaps, lowers comfort.
One of the implications of poor wall insulation levels is the cold wall effect. In many cases, you won't be able to find evidence of insulation. I recommend typically removing covers from electrical switches and receptacles on the inside of walls and trying to get a look at electrical boxes. You should turn off the electrical power before removing the covers and poking around. You may also find whether or not there is an air/vapor provided as you do this. On masonry walls, electrical boxes are typically shallow and it's unusual to find insulation there.
Again, if there is no insulation in the wall, I would not describe it as deficient, but would indicate that there is room for improvement. There is a solution and you will need to talk with your insulation contractor as to the best way to resolve the issue.
HAPPY REHABBING!!
