Air comes into and out of your home through every possible holes and cracks. You can find out your home’s air tightness by letting in smoke from a smoke pen placed outside of your windows and doors on a windy day.

Once you see where the air is coming and going, then you can decide a plan to caulk and seal the cracks and holes.

Make sure to caulk all the tiny cracks around plumbing, ducting, and wires.

If you only have single-pane windows, consider investing in double-pane ones.
