What it usually is
Most installs are a swap of wiring to a new device. Some systems need a wire the old thermostat did not use, and we tell you before we start.
What to do first
Turn the system off at the breaker before you open anything, and take a photo of the wires on your current thermostat.
The flat rate that covers it

Tacoma's North End is mostly older single-family homes on leafy streets, with Craftsman and early-1900s houses that have been updated over the years. Older North End houses often keep some original pipe behind remodeled walls, so it is worth knowing what is actually in the wall before a fixture swap.
