Without fixing leaks and insulation, you've done the tech equivalent of throwing large amounts of resources at the problem rather than fixing the root cause :) Your CO footprint will be far better if you decided to fix the leaks & insulation.

This is a pretty broad topic, and you can watch videos from this channel to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dReyrSGokEQ

There are options to do a full passive house retrofit, or just add exterior insulation if you have the funds and inclination. Plus you can get better air quality with filtered air, lower mold/pollen issues, lower noise if you care about that and overall home comfort.
