First, if you know anything about installing thermostats, it's no harder than any other. In other words, there are 4-7 colored wires, and you have to put them in the right place. That's it.

The Verdict
I replaced my old mercury filled round thermostat(you know the type) about six months ago. I've found this product to be both a solid, easy to install product and a good value. For those reasons I'd recommend it for anyone who's considering a thermostat in this price range.
Installation
This thermostat was straightforward to install. It included diagrams for several types of furnaces on which it might be installed, and I'm guessing it's fairly comprehensive, since it worked without issues on what looks like the no-name furnace in my garage. The wires just pop right into the circuit board on the back, and the unit mounts easily on the wall.
Operation
The touch screen is also easy to operate. It's intuitive and simple, somewhat of an accomplishment for a device with so many capabilities. With all the features it has, you can spend a lot of time programming it, so the other nice-to-have feature with this unit is that it can be removed from the wall without tools and programmed anywhere you'd like to take it. This way, you can sit in a comfortable chair instead of standing in the hallway.
Value
When I was shopping around, I also found this to be an excellent price for similar thermostats. You should find the same thing when you start looking around.
Additional Considerations
If you have the same type of thermostat I used to have and think this is too expensive for your home, then consider the benefits I experienced. Some of them might change your mind about how worthwhile this expense could be:
Increased comfort for about the same amount of money
My old thermostat came without even a switch to leave the fan running on the furnace to constantly circulate air. Read more &rsaquo,
