Are electric fireplaces okay in gas heated homes?

Tamara

So I live in a gas-heated townhouse, and was thinking about buying a electric-free standing fireplace (one with the fake flames, no installing a chimney) && was wondering if they are safe or if it would catch my home on fire? (I'd primarily use it as decoration & to make my townhouse feel a little more like a cozy home, I would turn it on but it wouldn't be running 24/7)

Answer
Would be fine, my gram had one mostly for decorations, But did kinda help for the chilly mornings, But you want to MAKE SURE its on own plug,nothing else plugged in same outlet. also the outlet should be the G F I kind, Has two small push buttons on front, Which is actually a breaker of ITS own just in case there was a problem! Hope helps a lil, GOOD LUCK

My electric fireplace turned on my itself. The other things I have plugged into that outlet did not turn on.?
