A clock thermostat apparatus adapted for controlling temperature conditioning apparatus maintains a normal control temperature in a space and during certain selected time periods deviating from the normal temperature control by resetting the normal temperature control to some lower temperature for comfort and energy conservation. The clock thermostat apparatus has a manual temperature selection means and a manual temperature deviation selection means for selecting the normal control temperature and the amount of reset or deviation during the selected time period. A connection means is provided between the temperature selecting means and the temperature deviation selection means to turn the temperature deviation selection means to a lower value when the temperature selection means is moved to some predetermined low temperature. When the normal control temperature selection is reduced by the temperature selection means, the temperature maintained is not reset to a low temperature during a setback time period which might be so low that freezing of water pipes would result in the space wherein the temperature is being controlled.
