Everyone keeps saying to replace the windows. Buy a nice caulking gun and $100 of caulking. That is literally the best bang for your buck!

Seriously. Windows will give you the least amount of insulation for your money.

I'm not talking about windows. If you have a drafty home, applying caulk is a legitimate way to save a ton of money. I did it for my grandmas house, and it cut her firewood usage in half. There's a reason Efficiency Maine gives a rebate for it.
