Jake,
For being an electrician by trade, you're one astute, sharp cookie.

Personally I dont think the cost of energy by itself will drive
replacement of worn out equipment vs repair, there has to be much
stronger benefits, such as federal tax credits.
Locally gasoline is $3.59 a gallon and the freeways are still parking
lots, even when everybody is supposed to be at work.
