New storm shelters get ‘swanky’ CEC adds new model to its safe shelter options


with a resident snake or two. By comparison, storm shelters available through Choctaw Electric’s storm shelter program are almost swanky, with ventilation, benches, handrails and virtually leak-free interiors. CEC recently expanded it’s safe shelter option to offer a new, poured-in-place solid concrete storm shelter with even more advantages—indoor/outdoor carpet, electrical box installed, circular wooden bench, inside/outside handrails. What’s more, you can even choose your own paint color.

“Some of our members asked about these models so we looked into it and decided to offer them,” said Jennifer Boling, CEC member services representative.


Manufactured and installed by


Security Tornado Shelters of Blossom, Texas, the new models are available in three sizes, with prices dependent on the driving distance to install.


Size


6 x 6 (seats 4-8) 8 x 8 (seats 8-16) 10 x10 (seats12-20)


<100 m. >100 m. $4,400


$5,150 $5,900


$4,650 $5,400 $6,150

While the new models are more expensive than the other storm shelters CEC offers, Boling explained that the cast-in-place, seamless construction, wooden benches, and bigger sizes may appeal to members who appreciate the added features and don’t mind paying a little extra for them. A 10 year manufacturer’s warranty against leaks or seepage is included.


Boling pointed out that CEC offers low interest loans that make it easy for members to afford a new storm shelter. Depending on the type of storm shelter you choose, payments are as low as $46 per month.


For added convenience, loan payments will appear as an itemized charge on your monthly electric bill.


For more information about CEC’s storm shelters or financing options, please call Jennifer Boling at 800-780-6486, ext. 207.
