Hi Bestrest, welcome to ER

Do you have any projects planned?

Hello,

Thanks. As of now, I don't have yet projects in mind. I'm trying to get some ideas and knowledge here. Where you think is the best place for me to go?

Sealing up any gaps/drafts is usually the first step. It's quite cheap but goes a long way.
If you plan to replace any windows, then look for low-e models. Insulate the attic. Then get a home energy audit done to show the next steps.

It would be easier to help if you told us more about your house, your heating and cooling systems, etc.

Welcome to the site.

Piwoslaw is dead on, always start with air sealing.
