Is this for use in a home warranty for a heating system or as an
outside supplier of a heating source?  If it is the former, one
example would be at http://www.homewarranty.com/az_contract_1.htm

"HEATING SYSTEM (if Main Source of Heat to Home): 

"Standard Plan Covered Items: All parts and components that affect the
operation of the heating unit. FNHW/CHW will not pay in excess of
$1,500.00 aggregate per contract term for access, diagnosis and repair
or replacement of hot water, radiant heat, steam circulating, air
transfer, lithium/glycol, diesel or hydraulic heating system(s),.
FNHW/CHW will not pay in excess of $500.00 aggregate per contract for
access, diagnosis and repair or replacement of concrete-encased in
inaccessible ductwork.  Openings made for access to concrete - encased
or inaccessible ductwork will be closed to a rough finish only and
subject to the $500.00 limit indicated.

"Not Covered: Solar heating systems - Geo-thermal systems – Phoenix,
Glycol or Polaris systems and water source heat pumps – well pump and
well pump components for Geo-thermal and/or water source heat pumps -
portable and free standing units - humidifiers and electronic air

If this is the type of sample you require, please post here to let me
know and I will provide additional examples for your perusal.  If this
is not the type of sample you require, please post a clarification of
your needs.

I'm looking for an industry standard form CEM contract based broadly
on the following formulae with final prices/values to be slotted in.
Monthly charge = variable charge + Standing charge
Variable charge = EC + HC
EC= MWhe x $/MWhe
HC= MWht x $/MWht
Standing Charge = OET + FET
OET = monthly fixed operating costs
FET = Base line capital or finance cost (related to capital employed)
x N/100
N = percentage of maximum consumption in the month.
It may end up as a take or pay contract, so provision for OET charges
to be adjusted to reflect the fact that energy might not be consumed.
Alternatively we need to make provision for a minimum FET and our
customer will get a guaranteed supply of heat
In either case, I'm interested in clauses covering warranties,
liabilities and un-planned outages
Thanks
