Smart Energy Solutions for Holiday Property Owners
Transform your holiday rental or AirBNB into a smart, energy-efficient property that generates income even when unoccupied.
Unique Energy Challenges for Holiday Properties
Holiday homes and AirBNB properties face distinct energy challenges that traditional solutions don't effectively address.
Intermittent Occupancy
Holiday properties often sit vacant between bookings, yet still consume energy through standby appliances and systems that remain powered on.
Guest Energy Waste
Guests often leave heating, cooling, and lights running when they're out exploring, resulting in significant energy waste that impacts your bottom line.
Remote Management
As a property owner, you're often not on-site to monitor and manage energy usage, making it difficult to control costs and respond to issues.
Smart Energy Solutions for Holiday Property Owners
Our tailored approach addresses the unique energy challenges of AirBNB and holiday home owners.
Remote Energy Management
The Jousto Energy Hub gives you complete control over your holiday property's energy usage, even when you're not there.
- Remotely control heating, cooling, and other energy-consuming appliances
- Automatically adjust settings between guest stays to minimise waste
- Receive alerts for unusual energy usage or potential issues
- Monitor energy consumption down to individual device level
Turn Vacant Periods into Income
Generate additional income through energy arbitrage during periods when your property is unoccupied.
- Charge batteries during low-cost periods and sell energy back to the grid during peak times
- Earn additional income from your property even when it's vacant
- Automated system requires no manual intervention or monitoring
- Potential to earn hundreds of dollars per month in additional revenue
Solar + Battery: The Perfect Holiday Home Combo
Combining solar with battery storage creates a powerful solution that maximises returns for holiday property owners.
- Generate your own power to reduce or eliminate energy bills
- Store excess energy for guest use or to sell back to the grid
- Provide backup power during outages to ensure guest comfort
- Typical ROI of 3-5 years with combined system and energy arbitrage
