Thermostat help

Undertoad · 01-04-2007, 02:40 PM

My house has central heating with a heat pump that has a backup emergency heat setting. The thermostat for the system was set up about 10 years ago. The LCD display is failing and only about half the letters and numbers are recognizable. So if the temperature is 88, it may display 7L, so many of the little segments are missing. If you know what I mean.

I have the skill to turn off the power, I have basic wiring skills and can probably work out how to remove this thing from the wall. Can I just go to my local megahardware store and get something that will work? What special secret thermostat mojo do I need?
