We like to know about these things in advance of calling Munns or SunKool, as we don't want them selling us a thermostat we don't want.
Many thanks in advance for any comments.

What you have is very old technology. We had one in our house from 2014. Now with the new Smart thermostats it is a much better and easier process. For years we had a Honeywell Smart thermostat and liked it. When we replaced our AC unit this year they installed the Ecobee thermostat. I like it better than the Honeywell for many reasons and it has a lot more features and is very easy to use. So yes update it. Also we have been using Kalos AC company for many years and the always provide excellent service. When we replaced our AC unit we got quotes from all the major venders in the area. Mounds and SunKool were a lot higher. Kalos and Sunshine AC were very close in price.
