  1. Heat Source will be mandatory for all residential property types. Use the field for “Fuel” on the current Residential Property Information Form.
  1. Square Footage & Square Footage Source will be mandatory for all residential property types. Place the information in the “Square Footage +/-” line on the current Residential Property Information Form.  You can write the source of square footage underneath.
