I wish I could cut my heating bill but sadly I'm using central heating which massively overheats the house. This winter was so warm I kept my window open 24/7 and it was still too warm inside (I'm located in the Baltic states). And it's not like I have good insulation otherwise - the snow occasionally falls through the cracks on the edges of my windows. I would love to fix them but honestly - what's the point if central heating still overheats the house.

Sounds weirdly out of date. In Poland in early 90ies your story could sound likely. Since then most places using central heating will bill you for "calories" consumed. Since then a lot of investment went into insulation and replacing windows. I barely know anyone who doesn't have "new" windows, even in less affluent household, window replacement and insulation is a highly prioritized expense. Actually it has caused some problems with too much humidity in the buildings. I would assume baltic states are mostly similar since you folks are not swimming in free energy afaik too. So your case sounds like a bit weird outlier.
