Wayne and Erika Pfeiler

This actually happened a while ago, but I hadn't posted the pictures until now. My folks gave us a Homedepot gift card for Christmas, so we ran out and bought a new digital thermostat for our house. We thought this would be infinitely better than the old one (we weren't even able to tell what temp it was set to) and it might also save a little money in heating/cooling costs.

First, I took the faceplate off the old thermostat:

Then I disconnected and labeled all these wires.

Then I hooked the wires to the new thermostat, and called their tech support, since the install guide didn't have information on some of the wires we have. Turns out my guesses were right. So far we love it. This new one has a backlit touchscreen control and even shows the humidity in the house. We have it set to an "EPA approved" energy saving program that turns the heat up and down throughout the day to save money.
