However if your house is not adequately air sealed prior, and if your walls are not adequately insulated, it will not make much of a difference.
What profession do you give a call to do an air seal inspection? HVAC? Home inspectors?
I've been wanting to add more insulation in my attic, but I know my house has to be leaky. Just not sure who to call.

You need a residential energy audit company that can do a blower door test that will determine how leaky your house is, and while the house is under negative pressure they can use a thermal imaging camera and/or smoke pen to identify problem areas that need to be addressed, sealing leaks, including the need for additional attic insulation.
I had one done about 1 1/2 years ago - very helpful in identifying problem areas to correct. Cost about $300 at that time, I think $300-400 is a typical fee.
