Electric plugs into wall and can be against the wall. Electric does not have flames so this would be OK. You don't want anything blocking the front of the blower. Turn it on for about 15 minutes or so & occasionally tip it to feel if it is hot anywhere on the bottom. The blower should not be running hot unless it has a severe problem with the motor. We have our 2nd hand one for 10 years (who knows how old it really is) and never had a problem with it - - we have vacuumed & oiled the motor on occasion.
