Will this thermostat work with my system?

Match the system type first - conventional gas/electric, heat pump with auxiliary heat, or multi-stage. A stat wired for a conventional furnace will not run a heat pump's reversing valve correctly, and that is the mistake that costs people a comfortable winter.

Do I need a C wire?

Most digital and all smart thermostats do - the C (common) wire is what powers the stat continuously. Mechanical and battery-powered stats do not. If you have no C wire at the stat, your options are running one, using an adaptor at the air handler, or choosing a battery stat.

What do the letters mean?

R is power, W is heat, Y is cooling, G is the fan, C is common. On a heat pump, O or B runs the reversing valve and there is usually an auxiliary or emergency heat terminal. Photograph the old wiring before you pull a single wire.

Why would I want a locking cover?

Rentals, offices, churches, waiting rooms - anywhere the setpoint gets moved by whoever walks past. A clear cover lets people read it without changing it; a solid metal one hides it entirely.

Is a mechanical thermostat still a reasonable choice?

For a simple system with no scheduling needs, yes. No batteries, nothing to fail in software, and nothing to get confused about. They run a wider temperature swing than a digital stat, which some people prefer and some do not.
