I would do as we have and double glaze if you have lots of windows.

Cost out the project, then work out how much that would fund in extra heating costs.

Chances are there may not be a payback for 20+ years.

Sad but true.

Heating with a heatpump may be more cost effective, 3 times the heat for the same input $. If heat still escapes, it may still be more economic than spending $10,000 - $20,000 on double glazing and wall insulation.
