Some years ago I replaced my single pane windows with double pane windows. My windows are standard sizes so I did it myself. I painted them on the outside and stained and varnished them on the inside. The new ones look better and they are much easier to clean. They also can be raised and lowered much easier and there is no condensation on the inside during cold weather. There are no weights to mess with with the new ones. Although it feels less drafty in the house I'm not really sure my heating & cooling bills are much less.
