Interhome hosts: take control of energy costs in your mountain chalets and vacation rentals
On Interhome, your chalets, apartments and holiday homes host European families all year round. The result: heating on maximum during ski stays, radiators running 24/7 while guests are on the slopes, and included charges that skyrocket in winter.
Powtiva includes an energy quota in every booking. Beyond that, the guest pays for their overconsumption via a dedicated page.
Why Interhome is expensive in energy costs
The specifics of Interhome rentals amplify the energy problem
Energy-hungry mountain chalets
Your chalets and apartments in the Alps, Switzerland or Austria are large volumes to heat. In winter, temperatures drop below zero and the heating runs non-stop. Energy charges can represent a significant portion of your rental income.
Guests who leave the heating on while skiing
Your guests go skiing all day leaving the heating on full blast to come back to a warm chalet in the evening. The result: 8 to 10 hours of wasted heating every day while nobody is home.
Charges included in the stay price
On Interhome, the listed price generally includes utilities. It's impossible to charge energy separately without losing competitiveness against other listings. The result: every winter booking eats into your profits.
