I often have a small amount of condensation but I still use them - though I make sure I unplug the heater before putting my hands in the water. If it's a lot of condensation, I would replace the heater.

Well that escalated quickly! 

Electricity trip is possible as it could with any faulty appliance.  House fire not so likely.  Unfortunately faulty heaters have claimed many fish.
