A mid-sized generator with an auto-start/auto-transfer switch is the only rational way to accomplish what you want, without a cost the likely exceeds the value.

You are correct in stating the above and use of a generator, but yet still very expensive. Cheapest way is to come up with a real quick drain down and bring back up system. All my old places had just that and I was able to drain the whole house down in less than 10 minutes and have it up and running in the same length of time. That was even being done in a crawl space
