I'll bet you a buck it's the candles. Do you have a gas furnace? Gas water tank?

candles are nasty, will leave a sooty mess every time.

Mildew is mold growing on cloth.

I'll place my bet with it being the candle. Also, if it is a scented candle, you are wiping out your resperatory system and taking a risk of formicary corrosion on your new indoor coil as well as deterioration of the furnace heat exchanger from the acids formed by wetting and heating the chemicals used in scented products.

U can see were the nails are , buy the black dot from the nail heads & mainly outside walls are the worst I think the candles don't help , that y she does not burn them anymore removed woodburner which s:$&;& is there a company I can send a sample of the residue that I wipe off? And send it to them+ how about a fresh air intake system tyed into my new system! plus I have a dehumidifier that pulls about 1ta2tanks of water .

Thanks Tony

Unless you are on the Eastern Shore of MD, I wouldn't think this is a mold issue.

When you say all electric, do you have a heat pump?

Where is the mold - outside the house or inside, near the vents or all over, one room or multiple rooms? Need more details. Spray bleach on it - if it's mildew, it will dissapear almost immediately. If it's soot, it wont.

and it returned u can see were the wall studs r by the nail that are black in color, new carrier a/c 19 seer.new siding windows( Anderson) house wrap.
