The best bang-for-buck upgrades: seal air leaks around doors/windows, add attic insulation, install a smart or programmable thermostat, and swap to LED bulbs. Weatherstripping and caulk are cheap and cut heating/cooling loss noticeably. For bigger savings, a pro energy audit can pinpoint where your home is leaking money before you spend on windows or HVAC.
