Keep the Lights On When Everyone Else Goes Dark
By Grider Electric – Serving Oklahoma with Integrity & Power
Weather the Storm—Without Losing Power or Peace
Oklahoma weather is no joke. Tornadoes. Ice storms. High winds. Sudden outages.
But you don’t have to be left in the dark when the next storm hits. This guide is designed to help you storm-proof your home with smart, cost-effective electrical backup options that protect your family, your food, and your finances.
Let’s dive into the top systems that keep power flowing—no matter what’s happening outside.
Chapter 1: The Top 3 Systems That Keep Homes Running
1. Whole-Home Standby Generator (Natural Gas/Propane)
- How it works: Instantly kicks on during outages. Powers your entire home automatically.
- Best for: Families, remote/rural properties, homes with medical or security systems
- Pros: Fully automated, reliable, seamless power
- Cons: Higher upfront cost, needs pro installation + regular maintenance
2. Portable Generator (Gas or Dual-Fuel)
- How it works: You start it manually and plug in key appliances via extension cords or transfer switch.
- Best for: Budget-conscious homeowners needing short-term solutions
- Pros: Affordable, flexible
- Cons: Manual setup, can’t run whole home, fuel-dependent
3. Home Battery Backup System (like Tesla Powerwall or Enphase)
- Cons: More expensive than portable, less power capacity than a generator
- How it works: Stores electricity from your utility or solar system. Automatically kicks in during outages.
- Best for: Eco-conscious homeowners, solar setups, areas with frequent but short outages
- Pros: Silent, clean, low maintenance, rebates available
Chapter 2: Generator Setup vs Battery Bank — Which Is Right for You?
| Feature | Generator | Battery Backup |
|---|---|---|
| Power Capacity | High (can run full home) | Moderate (key systems only) |
| Noise | Loud | Silent |
| Fuel | Gas, Propane, Natural Gas | Electricity (often solar) |
| Maintenance | Regular oil/gas checks | Minimal |
| Automation | Yes (for standby models) | Yes |
| Lifespan | 10–15 years | 10–12 years |
| Cost Range | $3k–$12k+ | $8k–$18k+ |
| Rebates Available? | Occasionally | Yes (often with solar) |
Pro Tip from Grider:
If you just want to keep food cold, charge your phone, and run a few lights—battery might be all you need. If you want full-home coverage, hot water, A/C, and no interruptions—go generator.
Chapter 3: What Insurance Doesn’t Tell You About Power Loss
When the power goes out, insurance isn’t enough to save you from:
- Spoiled groceries
- Frozen pipes
- Missed work from remote office failure
- Loss of heating or A/C during extreme weather
- Medical devices going offline
While you might file a claim after a storm, here’s the truth:
Insurance reacts. A power backup plan prevents.
Plus, if you file too many storm-related claims, your rates can go up—or you could be dropped altogether.
