To stop the black residue from a baseboard heater, the wall around and near the heater should be cleaned as there are dust particles attached to the wall. This is called ghosting which fine particles of soot attach to the wall that is cooler than the temperature.

Can you get a black dust on your wall from a base board electric heater?

Yes, you can get black dust on your wall from a baseboard electric heater. If the heater has a fan, this often spreads dust to areas near the walls. If the heater does not have a fan, the warm air rising from the heater can cause dust to settle near the area.


Where does the red wire in a baseboard heater connect to the black or white wire in the wall?

In the heater you will have two wires. You should then have 2 supply wires from the panel, and 2 wires from the thermostat. The neutral (white) supply wire should go to one of the wires on the heater. The hot (black) supply wire should connect to one wire from the thermostat. The other wire from the thermostat will connect to the other wire from the heater.
