I am slowly replacing my house's storm windows with very high efficiency weathertight ones with Low-E glass. In the rooms I have completed so far it makes a huge difference...its just about as good as modern windows but you get to keep the nice original to the house wood single pane type.

I guess my gas bill averaging $145-175 this winter is pretty good considering I keep the t-stat for the house at 69F 24/7....my garage is partially heated (to about 55F) and the water entering my normal-type water heater is about 35 degrees this time of year.
