Do we have unsafe wiring?
Too often, yes.

Can't get to the electrical panel in an emergency? That's an obvious danger. Other hazards found in Greenbelt are less in-your-face.

Example: many lighting upgrades in pre-1980s homes use fixtures that threaten the wires. (But how could you know?) That's one of the many local hazards explained and pictured on the

Important electrical safety requirements most people don't know (that includes handypersons). You won't find these in how-to videos.

What do you mean, unbiased?

Safer Greenbelt is of course biased . . . in favor of safety. "Unbiased" means there's no incentive to favor certain findings. Safer Greenbelt sells only one product—accurate information, reported at the level of generality or nuance you choose. The charges are the same when everything examined seems hunky-dory as when we find danger or at least deficiencies, indicating your wiring needs work.
