Suppose i should be more specific. We have a furnace with natural gas, forced hot air, and the central A/C unit controlled by the thermostat. I don't know what the "Universal", "24 volt system",or "millivolt" mean.
The 5+1+1, i understand and either that or 7 day is fine. I don't think home depot or lowes carries the White Rogers, where might i purchase one, and what should i expect to pay for one of these. I like the backlight and would prefer large, readable numbers
Again, thanks.

Whichever one of those is a 1 Heat/1 Cool thermostat (at least) should do the job. You can buy them at stores online. Have you thought of one of the touchscreen thermostats from Honeywell (the VisionPRO's)? They may be harder to setup (we can help) but sure are nice! A backlight may require 24v to your thermostat (there is a common wire along with the R wire to provide this to the thermostat), so you'll have to determine if you have this. Did your own thermostat light up? As always, it is advisable to call a professional to do this for safety and proper installation. You certainly wouldn't want to wire it wrong and possibly break a component in your system--that could be more costly than just having a service company install the thermostat. You may want to just call a small shop to come out and do it for you. Of course, shut off the power to the systems to do this work.

Ryan, thanks. The current one is not back lit, so maybe it doesn't have the necessary wire. I had thought of giving it a try myself, so the easier, the better.. don't need anything fancy(though the light would be nice to have in the middle of the night).
I had gotten pricing on having a pro install, but they wanted 220 just for the t-stat, not including labor. May ask someone else. If too much, may need some help.
Thanks

IMO the BEST thermostat ever made is sold at Home Depot. The brand is Ritetemp. What I find beyond compare is that for $100 it includes a remote control!!!! I get up and go to sleep at varying times (when I feel like it) and with the remote I can give marching orders to the furnace from under the covers to warm things up before I arise or put the AC to work if I wake up too warm. Light years ahead of a simple timer t-stat (it has the timer function, too).
