Looks like you have a 2 heat 1 cool heat pump thermostat.
I'd take a look at the terminals to see if you have a C (24 volt common) wire.

Are you going to to look on internet sites or local hardware stores for a new stat?

I prefer the Pro Honeywell thermostats available on sites like Amazon because they give you more options like cycles per hour but your local hardware stores would be more convenient, especially if you had to return it for any reason.

The Retail Honeywell thermostats begin with an R.
These would support a multistage heat pump...

Remember to turn off power to the indoor unit before replacing the thermostat.

Touching C to R will pop a fuse or damage a transformer with power present.
Touching Y to R several times in a second is tough on the compressor with power present.

The black and white wires will connect to E and Aux but this will likely be the same terminal with the new stat.
