Mildew is a sign that your duct system may need to be serviced. While the blower is running, inspect the ductwork in the basement or attic for leaks. If air is escaping out, moisture is flowing in as well, causing mold to grow in the ducts. Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one from your local home improvement store.
