HOT WATER BASEBOARD QUESTION: I have hot water base board heat, and now I am getting soot and dark marks on walls and ceilings, especially above the baseboard heaters. What is causing these marks, and what can I do about them? Could scented candles be the cause? ANSWER: There are a lot of possible reasons. The heaters distribute dust particles that can collect on the walls. Sometimes the heat is too high, and the particles carbonize. The best way to tackle the problem is to keep the burner clean and properly adjusted and make sure the boiler is working properly and at the right temperature. And keep the fins and other parts of the baseboard units clean, and be careful not to bend the fins. As for candles, aromatic candles do contain oils that create a lot of soot.
