Garage door opener looks like it's from the 80's.
That's really easy to do, too. I did both of mine about a month after we moved in for the same reason. You should re-do the springs and cables at the same time. Also not hard to do.

You should just be able to buy a programmable thermostat for that. There are a bunch of universal type setups. Just make sure you get one that works with the particular manufacturer of your unit.

This isn't hard to do at all.
yeah that's what I meant. Buy a themostat and replace it.

This is kinda tricky but do the research and you will be fine. 90% of the battle is making sure you get the correct model. Hooking it up is easy.
