R410a is a higher pressure system and r22 is a lower pressure system.

R22 condenser with r410a air handler.

A tech could do a poor job of installing the r22 condenser and the unit would last for 10 years or more. The old r22 compressors were not so picky. Oxygen and moisture contamination is the biggest killer of r410a compressors that we see today. As of 2012 the heating ventilating and air conditioning hvac industry is in the process of changing over from ozone depleting r 22 refrigerant to environmentally friendlier r 410a refrigerant.

Newer air conditioning models are designed to be used with r 410a for reliable and more efficient operation. To make a short story long r410a and r22 are refrigerants. It is more effective for reducing global ozone layer depletion and also performs faster. They are both good refrigerants and they both work but they have to be charged in the system at different pressures.

Though the r22 is available at a cheaper rate it is always better to use the r410a. All of the r22 in your current system will need to be re claimed and your system will need to be charged with the new r 421a. The r410a is a clear winner in terms of pressure applied in the air conditioner. Our r 421a air conditioner units use roughly the same pressure as r22 allowing you to keep your indoor units.

With r410a units the installers must have there process dialed in tight. Can i use an r410a condenser with an r22 air handler.
