Comfort Home has released the March 2026 version of the Utility Release Form, which updates the designation for account and POD numbers. The change aligns the form with the NYHEP changes made in late 2025 where the same fields are required. Account numbers are always required and POD numbers are also required when the customer’s electric provider is NYSEG, RG&E, or Central Hudson. The new form can be identified with a version date of “3/2026” in the footer at the bottom of page 2.

Contractors should use the new form for customer signatures going forward. Customers who already signed the old form do not need to sign the new form. For signatures already obtained, a new signature on the new form is not required.
