Here's my two cents. Replace windows if they don't open, stick etc. I wouldn't do it for energy savings, they will never pay for themselves despite what the sales pitch says. Those prices don't seem too unreasonable I guess, depending on the size of the window. The other reason to change windows is for ascetics, to change the colour or style. If I wanted to do all my windows it'd be $20-30K......my house is over 100 years old and the windows are original and all work. Some are leaded. My heating bill is reasonable, and if you subtract the gas delivery charge and debt retirement from my bill it cost me about $1000 a year to heat, I also use gas to cook, for my hot water and BBQ. If the windows saved me 20% that'd be about $200 a year in savings.
