Summary: Leads Will be Distributed in Round Robin Style Now
Contact: comforthome@nyserda.ny.gov

The Comfort Home team is happy to announce that Comfort Home leads generated from the homeowner survey will now be distributed via a round robin process. In the past the lead distribution was to all contractors that serve that county. As the program has grown, we heard your concerns about too many contractors getting the same lead and frustration from homeowners getting too many calls.

The leads will now come from the Comfort Home mailbox (comforthome@nyserda.ny.gov) with the subject line Comfort Home Lead – XXXXX County. They will be sent to 2 contractors in the county the lead is in and then we will move down the list as new leads come in.

If you have any questions or would like to update the contact information leads are being sent to reach out the Comfort Home team at:

Web ProForma Launch

To: Contractors offering NYSERDA Green Jobs – Green New York (GJGNY) Residential Loans
Regarding Programs:Assisted Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® (AHP), GJGNY Residential Financing Program, NY-Sun, NYS Clean Heat, Comfort Home, Residential Energy Audit Program
Summary: Web ProForma Launch
Contact: residential.financing@nyserda.ny.gov

NYSERDA is getting closer to the rollout of our new web-based ProForma, to support the Green Jobs – Green New York (GJGNY) Residential Financing Program. The new platform, called Web ProForma Plus, will replace the current Excel ProForma.

Due to some technical issues the launch of the Web ProForma Plus will be delayed until September 14, 2022.  A step-by-step Web ProForma Plus User Manual and a pre-recorded training video will be posted on the Resources for Participating Contractors page upon the Web ProForma Plus launch.  NYSERDA will be hosting live training sessions on the new platform to provide contractors with an in-depth walk through of the process.  Information relating to these training sessions (dates, times, and meeting links) will be sent out in the coming weeks.

Due to the delay in the Web ProForma Plus launch, the Excel version ProForma will continue to be accepted after the launch of the Web ProForma until October 17, 2022.

If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to residential.financing@nyserda.ny.gov, or contact Heather Clark, 518-862-1090 ext. 3253.Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in making GJGNY Residential Financing Program a success.
