Replacing it with a programmable thermostat of your choice is easy and not
that expensive. What would really concern me is what else wasn't done
according to the contract?

I had requested a Honeywell (or American Standard branded equivalent)
Two stage / 7 day programmable thermostat for my 2 stage furnace.
Instead the professional HVAC company installed a "Braeburn" two stage /
7 day (model 5100). I've never heard of Braeburn and indeed the
trademark office says it has only been used in commerce since 2002,
strangely registered to an individual not a company.

Besides being a pain to program, are there any disadvantages to having
this thermostat instead of the Honeywell? I'm a bit disappointed but
really can't hold their feet to the fire since the contract didn't
explicitly say "Honeywell." I really liked my Honeywell 3500, but that
is only 1 stage 'stat. Thanks!

PS. This was for a new furnace installation, so the thermostat was a
pretty
small piece of the job.
