It was recently announced the UK may be facing a series of planned blackouts this winter, to combat a shortage of gas.
The National Grid warned these could be taking place on " really cold evenings " between 4pm and 7pm over the coming months, if the weather becomes so cold that it affects the country's gas supplies.
And while the energy company said the blackouts are "unlikely", households are being urged to take the precautions to protect themselves in case they do end up happening.
