I replaced ours after getting the prices to have someone do it ! Mentioned the bids we received to an employee at ace as i was there to pick up a couple replacement pieces for the sprinkler heads. His advice was to check on line. I did, bought a hunter (not Wi-fi or phone app type) bought a brand new hunter unit from a large well known garden wholesale/retailer, followed the Ace hardware employee's advice that it was VERY SIMPLE, take it off wall, take the few wires off ONE at a time, not all at once, attach each to the color on the new controller first, THEN remove the old controller entirely and attach the new one with the provided screws. I plugged it in, held my breath a bit, and SURPRISE, each station worked perfectly. The best part, I did this WHEN MY HUSBAND WAS GONE to help our son in another state. I know nothing about electricity or about irrigation systems, replacement was one of the most simple tasks I've ever done, and the money saved was mind boggling, most bids were THREE times the price of the controller it's self. Utube (Hunter) can also show you in detail, watch it and decide for yourself what a simple thing replacement is.
