Was super easy. Instructions stated 30 minutes. Took me under 15.

Shutoff power at the breakers for your heat and AC.

Unscrew old unit, note the wiring.

Mount new bracket (comes with a level).

Connect wiring to new unit.

Snap new unit into bracket.

Turn power back on and follow on-screen instructions for wifi, settings, etc...

I did have to bump up my allowed number of devices in my wifi router. Between our two phones, laptop, nook, iPod, and play station I was at the limit of allowed devices.
