Complete home? Windows and doors? How old is the house?

I just did this to my house after the old weather stripping was deteriorating and needed replacement.

I got the material from Lowes and did it myself as it is a pretty no-brainer job that only required a couple tools------snips to cut the material to fit and a drill with a screwdriver bit to secure the stuff to the frame to close any gaps.

36 in. x 80 in. Compression Weatherstrip Kit


Use plyers to pull out old strips and cut new strips to their lengths. Push in with a putty knife. I used this video to watch how it's done:
