How do energy costs eat into my rental margin?

Guests pay a fixed amount and therefore have no incentive to use electricity economically, while you receive the bill afterwards. If you calculate your annual bill per rented night and multiply it by your kWh price, you will often see that energy consumes ten to fifteen percent of your remaining margin. How much this saves exactly depends on your property and type of guest. With one property with regular guests, a separate billing system often does not outweigh the investment; with many changing bookings it does.
