depending on the state, electricians run the stat... I hate that too. most thermostat screws don't mount that way.

Pet peeve of mine is when inspector has something to complain about on every job but probably hasn’t worked in the field a day in his life

Any HVAC installer that knows what he’s doing would put a 2X4 there. The way they did it both screws will be just anchors in drywall. Eventually anchors come out.

I do retrofit and I hate that there is never some sort of block behind the stat, always just a million holes, then end up having to move it higher just to have a spot to skrew to

Every thermostat I have ever installed comes with wall anchors. Plus, the block you are wanting will catch the slack in the future when you need a little bit more wire.

When I would service residential equipment about 30 years ago, every house I went to had drywall issues around the thermostat. It seemed people never used anchors never put any support behind it. I just never understood it. I would remove the thermostat. Make the whole little bigger, where the wire was coming out, stick a piece of wood behind it and do exactly what you want them to do just not as big of a piece of wood.
