remove old thermostat

i got a ecobee thermostat and could not find instructions for old thermostat removal. Here is a video of the old one. I dunno what model number it is and cannot figure out how to remove it.

They usually just snap off, try pulling from the base.

You'll need to use the included power extender kit or pull a new cable if you don't have a spare conductor in the wall behind the stat. Most old stats don't need/use the common, your new one requires it.
Pulling a new able is always better but not always practical.

Hvac advice warning - inaccurate information on forum, vested interests in selling builder's equipment. Selling dealer-only brands without being authorized is a red flag. Report to CRA if offered no tax cash-deal. If it's 2 good to b tru, it is.

Simple.

Pop it out .. take a photo of the wires ... disconnect the wires ... wire up to the Ecobee .. DONE!
