Skip Nav Bill’s Quality Electric, LLC shares possible electrical hazards throughout the home, both indoors and out, that can often lead to shock or fire, especially for older adults. These include mixing electricity and water, use of electric blankets, and overloading outlets among this important list of Hazard Factors. Stay Electrically Safe and Smart no matter your age as a homeowner, and, if you know of an older adult who could use this information, pass it on!
