Natural gas central heating in our house. We've had to use it for half an hour a few times because the new house is badly insulated - single glazing on a north facing bedroom is a bad idea - and we haven't had the time or the free cash flow (still waiting to sell other house!) to fix it.
Since I'm here all the time we try to keep the occupied areas - all on the north facing side of the house - at about 15-17C or so.
We always had them. I do remember, because as a kid, every year my grandmother did a big spring cleaning. That involed my grandfather have to unscrew the frame so my grandmother, my mother and me could clean the panes on the inside. Today there is a vacuum between the panes, so you can not open them anymore and just have to clean them on the in- and outside.
The old houses had also second window panes, that used to be taken off in summer and put in the attic.
