FAIR USAGE - HEATING & ELECTRICITY Most of Ireland is heated via oil central heating which our home is too. Oil costs in Ireland have increased this year by 60% due to the Iran/USA conflict. To help ensure we can continue to offer our home for Air BnB and to keep our costs to an affordable level, we are grateful to guests being mindful of the current high costs of heating and not to leave the heating on when out and about. There is a timer and boost options on the digital controls. A utilities fair usage rate applies with oil and electricity meter readings taken at the beginning and end of your stay. Any costs above average usage for the time of year will be billed via Air BnB.
