Existing Thermostat:
White Rodgers LR27935 (Type 1F56-444).

What additional information is needed in order to select an
appropriate programmable thermostat to replace this one?


If you plug "1F56-444" into the White-Rodgers cross reference guide

it gives back this:

Standard Non-Programmable: 1F86-344
Economy 5+2 Day Programmable: 1F78-151

Basically, any single-stage 24 VAC programmable thermostat will work.
These are very common and widely available. I like the White-Rodgers and
Honeywell brands. Note that the White-Rodgers brand has started to be
marketed under the "Emerson Climate" name, their parent company.
