This house is a bit colder than our previous place, for several reasons. One reason turned out to be that when the builder put in the stove power outlet, he cut a piece about 9 x 12" out of the wallboard, and didn't bother to cover that space back up. Cold air has been coming out of that opening, which means you can stand on the kitchen tiles and watch frost form on your toenails.
I've just spent an hour pulling the stove away from the wall, getting out the saw, getting out the ply wood, measuring, cutting, nailing the piece in place, then putting everything back. This has made absolutely no visible change at all, but I know it's an improvement.
In many areas, I just need to keep making invisible improvements.
