Take good pictures and just swapping connectors from old board to new board. Make sure the power is off.
Did I mention to make sure the power is off!!!

This is a 4" ac ceiling diffuser, drywall guy did a sloppy job, is there some kind of product I can easily install between the diffuser and the ceiling to cover up the hole instead of patching the drywall?

I would patch it as it is a simple fix.

Maybe try a base ring like people put around chandeliers?
Think it is called a ceiling medallion

Yes, it is a furnace. A tech I called down told me the issue is the control board got water damaged, wanted $600 to replace. I can also see some water damage on the board itself.
How did it get water damaged? Condensation from not changing the filter?

You can use drywall compound but depending how Bbg the space is you should use some type of mesh for strength.

You can use 'tape' like you put over seams between drywall.

You can back fill with liquid foam (great stuff). The tape or mesh will give it more strength.
If you decide to go this route, put the compound on in layers.

Not sure, the whole furnace was full of water way above the control board. I drilled a hole on the bottom for the water to drain.
