2. When I replaced my windows, I bit the bullet

And bought the highest rated Energy Star windows available (8 windows) and had them installed professionally.

Well worth the investment. The house is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Saved a ton of money on heating costs (Maine winters - don't need AC in summer, I open the windows in the cool of the night and the house stays cool all day).

Best home improvement evah.
