My house has well-made early 70's sash windows with add-on triple-track storm
windows. They are not falling apart, but I have considered modernizing some of
them for energy efficiency and easier cleaning.
But it is probably not worth it from just the energy-saving perspective, and I
would not be happy if the windows were smaller or looked funny or if the trim
got messed up. But on many of the windows, the add-on storm window frame
opening is a bit smaller than the window glass area, so smaller windows without
storms might let in just as much light.
