Managing an Airbnb property comes with unique challenges, especially in winter, when heating demands can drive up utility bills and maintenance concerns.
Smart home devices, like Boldr’s Kelvin Electric Smart Infrared Heater and Klima Smart Thermostat, can be game changers for Airbnb hosts, offering solutions to address the common pain points of energy overuse, remote management, and maintenance.
Here’s how these smart home devices from Boldr can help Airbnb hosts save on energy costs, improve guest experiences, and streamline property management this winter.
Common Pain Points for Airbnb Hosts in Winter
Winter brings additional challenges for Airbnb hosts. Here are some of the most frequent issues that hosts encounter:
1. Energy Waste by Guests
Guests may forget to turn off heating systems or leave windows open, leading to unnecessary energy consumption and high utility costs.
2. Remote Management Challenges
For hosts managing multiple properties or hosting from a distance, it can be difficult to monitor and adjust heating settings especially during check-in and out times.
This can potentially result in uncomfortable conditions for guests and increased energy costs.
3. Maintenance and Downtime Concerns
Unexpected malfunctions in heating systems like mini-splits can lead to guest complaints, poor reviews, and even lost bookings if issues are not quickly addressed.
These pain points can be solved with smart home devices that provide efficient remote control, energy monitoring,and preventive maintenance, like Klima and Kelvin.
