I'll second that, with some comments.

AFAICT, these are pretty much universal.  The model I bought described a 
couple of different wiring setups that it supported, but indicated that 
one was by far the most common.  It's basically a couple of screws and 
four wires.

Your old thermostat probably contains mercury.  Please dispose properly.

The UI on these things is pretty darn rudimentary, and not also very 
friendly, but it's generally easy enough to figure out.  The seven day 
feature is nice.  The model I bought also has a very handy override 
button labeled simply "Home Today".  That reverts your energy saver, 
away at work, daytime settings back to the baseline for the extent of 
the day.  My wife works at home on a somewhat irregular schedule, and 
wouldn't want to have to learn to operate this thing, so this feature 
was really good for us.

No, I don't recall the brand or model.

Have fun.
