For the past few weeks, I thought there was a snake following me around the house.
While I was outside gardening, I heard a hissing noise and I began to panic.
I assumed that there was a snake around me, but despite my frantic search, I couldn’t find one. A few days later, when I was cooking dinner in the kitchen, I heard the hissing noise again. I was really concerned this time because I thought the mystery snake had slithered his way into my actual home. During my brief moment of panic, I started researching local pest removers. Around this same time, the HVAC professional was scheduled to come service my HVAC system before the fall. While he was outside servicing the condenser unit, he asked me if I was hearing any hissing sounds. I was so relieved that he was hearing the snake too! However, he told me that it wasn’t a snake, it was my condenser unit! There was so much pressure built up in the condenser unit that he had to shut it down right away. Once he figured out how to remove the pressure, he restarted everything and made sure that there were no more hissing sounds. I’m so glad that my HVAC professional was around as soon as the hissing sounds began, because my condenser unit could have experienced some serious damage if left untouched. I hate to think about what could have happened, but I’m even more glad that there isn’t actually a snake in my house.
