[QUOTE="TOOLGUY, post: 2105144, member: 751521"] The soot is coming from poor combustion which can be caused by a blocked intake vent. The real concern is how does the soot get into the plenum? The most logical reason would be a cracked or broken heat exchanger (not all that unusual for a newer furnace). Make sure the professional does a thorough inspection. CO2 detectors would be a good idea. Have the ductwork cleaned as well. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
