Jim,
The talking thermostats come in their own case to be mounted on the wall,
but it is relatively easy to do. In my case, to be honest about it, I had
my heating & air conditioning fellow install it for me, but I I looked it
over quite carefully and saw that it was pretty easy. They come with
instructions that are pretty good.
