Bit of a, bit of b, thermal protection on printers sets a minimum hotend and bed temperature, it's configurable but 0c is pretty common. Drop below that and the firmware will trip an emergency shutdown in klipper, some (mk3s) set off an alarm beeper when that happens.
Higher ambient helps with chamber temps too depending on what you print. I let my printers heat soak for at least an hour before I print anyhow, the space heater gives some stability in ambient temps.
Also done prints where I've just blasted the hotend and build plate with a heatgun to get above the min temps to be able to get a heat soak going. Vorons have a decently powerful bed heater (~600w if I recall), my mk3s isn't nearly as powerful but still capable of sustaining itself (would definitely benefit from insulation)
