Generator or home battery for Fraser Valley outages

November windstorms take the power out for hours. Generators and batteries cost about the same and behave nothing alike. Which one suits your house?

Every winter the wind comes up the valley and the lights go out somewhere between Hope and Abbotsford. There are two ways to deal with that and they cost roughly the same.

A battery is silent, picks up instantly and runs until it is empty. A generator is loud, takes a moment to start and runs as long as you feed it. How long your outages actually last decides which one is right.
