☀️💧 Hydration & Electrolytes: Don’t Let the Arkansas Heat Win! 💧☀️

As temperatures and humidity climb across Arkansas, staying hydrated becomes more than just a comfort issue—it’s a safety issue. Whether you’re working outdoors, exercising, mowing the lawn, or spending time at the lake, your body loses both water and essential electrolytes through sweat.

✅ Drink water consistently throughout the day.
✅ Use electrolyte supplements during prolonged outdoor activity or heavy sweating.
✅ Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning when possible.
✅ Watch for signs of dehydration: headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscle cramps, nausea, and dark-colored urine.

📊 Heat & Hydration Facts
🔹 The human body is approximately 60% water.
🔹 Losing just 2% of your body weight from dehydration can reduce physical and mental performance.
🔹 Relative humidity above 60% makes it harder for sweat to evaporate, increasing heat stress.
🔹 Even mild dehydration can reduce productivity and endurance by 10–20%.
🔹 During strenuous outdoor work, some people can lose 1–2 liters of sweat per hour.

💦 How Much Water Should You Drink?
• Men: About 125 ounces (3.7 liters) daily
• Women: About 91 ounces (2.7 liters) daily

If you’re working outside in the summer heat, you may need significantly more than these amounts.

⚡ Using Electrolyte Supplements
• For outdoor work lasting more than 1–2 hours in high heat, consider alternating water with an electrolyte drink.
• Follow the mixing instructions on the product label. More is not always better.
• Electrolytes help replace sodium, potassium, and other minerals lost through sweat.
• Continue drinking plain water throughout the day—electrolytes are meant to supplement hydration, not replace water.
• If your sweat leaves white salt stains on clothing or you experience frequent cramping, electrolyte replacement may be especially beneficial.

From all of us at McGhee HVAC Service Company, stay cool, stay hydrated, and take care of yourself during these hot Arkansas summer months. Your health is just as important as getting the job done! ❄️💙☀️

Out with the attic unit… and hello to easier service! 🔧❄️🔥

One of our customers recently decided to upgrade the way their system is set up. Instead of keeping the air handler tucked away in the attic, we moved them to a heat pump package unit outside.

Why make the change?
✔️ Easier access for future maintenance and service
✔️ No more climbing into a hot attic
✔️ Cleaner, more efficient setup
✔️ Everything in one outdoor unit

Attic systems work fine, but when homeowners want simpler service and easier access, a package unit can be a great option.

Every home is different, and we always help our customers choose what works best for their situation.

If you’re thinking about upgrading your system or changing your setup, we’d be glad to take a look and walk you through your options.

Friends in the Heating and Air Conditioning trade, we have been presented with an opportunity to help a single mother/ live in grandmother home in the Mayflower area.

We have been wanting to help someone in need using our trade and this seems to be the perfect opportunity! Another individual has graciously provided the funding to replace this 4 ton Airhandler/ Heat Pump system and all necessary materials for the installation. We will provide the labor.
The disappearing stairs in the garage may have to be dropped and reinstalled to get the new air handler in and the old one out. Also, the old condenser was straight AC and we will be installing a heat pump, so we will need to pull a new low volt wire from air handler to condenser.

We would like to ask if anyone is willing to lend a hand on this project. 2-3 more people would be awesome! You don’t necessarily need a HVAC background, anyone willing to carry tools or move equipment.
We plan to schedule this changeout one day this upcoming week, Tuesday the 17th - Saturday the 21st. We can choose the day depending upon others availability to help.

Please DM me if you felt led to offer help! There may also still be about a 4’ x 4’ hole in the drywall ceiling where the airhandler leaked water until it fell in, so anyone with drywall experience would also be appreciated. Materials can be provided for that repair as well.

Weather looks nice for most of next week so far. We can provide lunch on site for those willing to help also.
