Essential Utilities for a Holiday Home: What You Need to Know

Which utilities are mandatory to have for a holiday home?

If you are managing a property as a holiday home, there are certain utilities that are necessary to have in order to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay for your guests. These utilities include:

  • DEWA (electricity, water, sewerage): This stands for Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and covers the basic necessities of electricity, water, and sewerage. It is important to have these utilities connected and functioning properly for your guests' daily needs.
  • Hi-speed internet with cable channels: In today's digital age, having access to high-speed internet is essential for most people. This is especially true for holiday homes where guests may want to stay connected or stream entertainment during their stay. Cable channels are also a popular amenity for guests to have access to.
  • AC / Chilled Water supply: Dubai is known for its hot and humid climate, so it is crucial to have a functioning air conditioning system in your holiday home. Chilled water supply is also necessary for cooling systems to work effectively.
  • GAS (if the stove/oven runs on gas only): If your holiday home has a gas stove or oven, then having a gas supply is necessary for cooking and preparing meals. Make sure to have this utility connected and regularly maintained for the safety of your guests.

Having these utilities in place and functioning properly will not only provide a comfortable stay for your guests but also ensure that your holiday home is up to standard and meets all necessary requirements. It is important to regularly check and maintain these utilities to avoid any inconvenience or disruptions during your guests' stay.
