Ouch! That is going to hurt. We have tried a few things to warm our house up (filled in the gaps in the floorboards, etc) but until we cough up for new windows (ours are old and very definitely have more than a few gaps) I doubt we'll achieve a well-insulated and energy efficient house. If anybody can recommend any reasonable sash replacement companies please let me know.
