A cover system for a baseboard heater running longitudinally along the lower portion of a vertical wall in a residential area to be heated having longitudinal extending, water-carrying copper piping, and a set of vertically extending and suspended on the copper piping, horizontally-spaced aluminum fins, the fins having front, back, top and bottom edges, comprising:

• two or more support brackets each having a planar back piece attachable to the vertical wall and a top arm extending from said back piece in a direction upwardly and away from said back piece and a bottom arm, below said top arm and beneath the aluminum fins, also extending from said back piece in a direction away from said back piece;
• wherein said top arm comprises a distal end comprised of a pair of tines and a base portion connecting said top arm to said planar back piece, a first slot defined between a portion of said base portion and said planar back piece;
• a first slat of a substantially planar shape;
• wherein said bottom arm comprises a distal end having a hook, a base portion of said bottom arm connecting said bottom arm to said planar back piece, a second slot beneath said base portion and holding a second slat;
• a plastic cover piece comprising a flat front portion parallel to said first and second slats, said cover piece having a top surface extending from said distal end of said top arm to the top of said back piece, said cover piece further comprising a snap-fit bulge area corresponding to the ends of said pair of tines, said snap-fit bulge area disposed at a central portion of said cover piece and configured to connect to the ends of said pair of tines at said central portion, said bulge area connecting said top surface to said flat front portion;
• and a second snap-fit bulge area, located at the bottom of said flat front portion and corresponding to said hook and snappable onto said hook such that said flat front portion is snapped to and around each tine of said pair of tines and said hook to form a gap between said flat front portion and the front edges of said fins and such that said top surface extends parallel to and above said first and second slats.
