As for doing it yourself, be careful. My home had a proprietary Carrier thermostat which uses two wires that feed into an electronic module. This module, depending on when your home was built, can be installed behind the wall, in the attic, or inside the HVAC unit. This module then connects to the non-proprietary wiring that is common in most all HVAC units. Since I didn't know where the module was located and didn't have a wiring diagram for the module I thought it worth it to have a professional do it. YMMV.

The module on mine was on the wall next to the heat pump. Mike traced all the wires back to the source which included the condenser.

Getting a new Ecobee thermostat for Christmas, I buy my own gifts. Does anyone know who can install to replace a Carrier PRH01-B thermostat that doesn’t charge an arm and a leg.

I did the same thing last year. I had Sunshine AC 352-251-3321 install mine and it works great.

Do it yourself. The Ecobee call in help line is excellent. I did mine 2 months ago and had some wiring issue and they walked me thru the process.
