How much extra electricity does a guest working from home use?
A guest working from home consumes more than a guest who is away during the day, especially because heating or air conditioning runs all day instead of switching on briefly. Calculate roughly 16 kWh extra per week for three working-from-home days in winter, and around 25 kWh in summer with air conditioning, plus some extra for laptop and lighting. The exact figures depend on your heating type, insulation and climate, but it mainly comes down to whether you bear these costs yourself at a fixed rental price, or whether you make them visible to the guest.
