Default Oil-fired boiler, huge amounts of soot

When was the last time the boiler was brushed down? If they are going
to do a complete tune up they should also brush the boiler heat
exchangers. Also, check your chimney. Make sure you have no blockages
or partial blocks. Remember, in order to make a fire you need, spark,
air, and fuel.
