If you can't find a utility to do a free heat loss survey, there are people who do them for a fee, typically $400 or so.
If the condensation is on the inside window, that's OK. You have warm, moist air in your house. The door glass is cold. Cold air does not hold as much moisture as warm air. When the air hits the cold window, the moisture condenses out (like a cold drink in the Summer). The result is condensation. As noted above, moisture between the panes indicates a problem.
Be aware that even the most efficient windows are still darn poor insulators. R values for them are nil. It takes a long time to get a payback on replacing windows if you don't DIY - and even with DIY it's a slow payback.
The best payback is sealing cracks and gaps. Insulating the attic (more) is probably second best.
