Not only that, these windows are 40 years old. It's so single pain forty year old windows are not good installation.

I had all my windows replaced and was disappointed with the drafts. They seemed the same. I like the easy open close of new windows. Haven't used that tilt feature. I like they are all double hung too. That was a nice add.
I hired a professional insulation company, The Fifth Fuel, to seal all the wall ends in the attic, on the third floor I was able to open the floor and seal the space that allowed drafts between the joists and refill walls I could afford. That made an amazing difference reducing the drafts. I like my hardwood floors do not feel cold in winter. Reblowing the insulation in the attic after sealing every draft from entering a wall made the AC able to keep up on the worst of the heat and humidity. I could not afford to do the middle floor or the part of the garage where is is basically not insulated. Above that low ceiling is all the electric, gas and ducts to the rest of the house or out to service points. The mid-floor solutions required pulling up the wood floor and cutting holes in the wall. I could afford the insulation work but the labor to repair the floor walls and paint... was out of reach.
I can't see where I save any money. Where I notice it as an inconvenience is when it is 40-60 outside. The time between when the heat actually runs is extended. You can feel how cool it is between runs. However, when it is cold 68 is all I need. It comes on in time to not feel cold. 72 makes it work in the summer. But still when it is 65 or so outside you can't get the temp to stay steady, so you are hot or cold. Which usually happens at night and robs one of sleep.

I think that, were I doing windows from scratch, that I'd install casement windows. They seal closed and lock closed more gooderer'n anything else out there, methinks.

I really like my Marvin fiberglass wood composite. I live near a noisy road. My double panes are not the same thickness which actually did cut down on the noise not the firetrucks when the little kid in them likes the siren. On the back side I get hard sun all year. 400uv to cut down on the light. I did notice some stress on the plants. I still wish I could afford the single hand operation. Really cool, but way overkill for a little townhouse. I spent what I saved on the slide in stove. I love the extra 8" on my cook top. It will actually fit 5 13" pans on top. I don't do it often but some guests each get their own pan so dinner is served simultaneously like in a restaurant.

I'm doing some budgeting for the next building. It's about time I did what I want to and not settle for what exists already.

I think the Marvin's I got [Infinity I think was the grade] Are as good or better than Andersen or Pella. And much less cost. Plus the dealer that did them was 150 per window -15 of them. Also a nice break. The doors are what are really expensive. And in this ~30year old house worth the cost. The main front and back were not simple and the guy who did it was a good craftsman. Enjoyed watching. They seal well and don't fall open or closed... I forget the brand but if someone goes outside with a bright light you cannot see it on the inside. I've seen some crappy installs. The difference after insulation upgrades provided far more comfort than the windows. The windows are still better to look at and through. The new door with top and bottom bolt and side latch are just wow. You lift on the handle and can instantly feel you are on the other side.

I did that from sometime after 4 to 5:10 today. ~10 to 3:30 before it I broke up 10" ice so my neighbors trying to free their cars did not break their shovels.
Really fun day. Those people I see that never speak are pretty cool. One of the pretty one's brought me a plate of lunch. Some kind of Saffron Chicken, white stuff wit crunchy in it - cucumbers and onions maybe? - and rice that was kind of brown with blackeyed peas and I thin a lot of dill. Iranian and appreciated I did her driveway and 2 cars.
So far no snow plow. There is a pool starting I think. The long shot is they don't make it before the next storm.
I've got my ham bone in the water and am contemplating chocolate chips so I don't fall asleep while it is on the stove. Plus, Cookie Dough!

In the spring I'm doing one casemint window for the kitchen. The problem with that is it's crank style which can lead to more problems with the crank mechanism
