   Check your doors as well. Make sure your door frames are squared up and the doors are flush.

   Move. The cost of heating is so expensive. Okay, if you don’t want to move, put extra insulation in your attic so that the heat will not escape so fast (heat rises). Put some kind of filling around your doors too. Windows and vinyl siding alone will not work for you. Hope that this helps. Thank you for your question.

   Upgrade the windows, replace the doors, frame and all with weather tight and modern products. Use double pane windows.

   Otherwise, insulate the doors with sponge tape and a door sweep at the base. Windows need cocking on the outside frame.

   Sell the house.
