Perhaps loosely related to home improvement, but not worthy of a new topic:

I need to purchase a new thermostat, my 2nd in 4 years, and looking for recommendations of a moderately priced one. The last one I purchased was a Noma brand and after 3 years, it is now registering temperatures all over the place (in the span of 5 minutes and changing the batteries it read between 17-21 degrees and bounced all over the place with no apparent reasoning) and not calling for heat when it drops below the programmed setting (e.g. I have it set at 18, the house is at 17 and the indicator shows that the heat has been called for, but the furnace doesn't turn on. Or it turns on about 20 minutes after the initial indication of calling for heat).

I can confirm it's NOT an issue with the furnace as it does turn on and work fine and only 5 years old.

Any recommendations?
