If you add 410A to a heat pump does it put out more heat or less?
The recommended type of freon for a window AC unit is R-410A.
Freon is not Toxic, but its not good to breath it or have extended contact with it on the skin. It is a controlled EPA substance. Some are Flammable and have other properties like 410A which is a mixed blend of Freon/Purion. Under pressure 410a is one liquid but outside of the system the Freon components separate and become to different chemicals.
r-22 (gentron), and r-410a (puron)
As of 2021, the price of R-410A per pound can vary but typically ranges from $4 to $8 per pound. It's important to check with suppliers or retailers for the most current pricing information.
The most common for vehicles are R-12 and R134a freon.......... The most common for homes are R-22 and R-410A freon..........
The best alternative to Freon in an AC unit is a refrigerant called R-410A, also known as Puron. It is more environmentally friendly and has become the standard replacement for Freon in modern air conditioning systems.
R-22 currently, but is quickly being replaced by R-410A due to CFC issues
The cost of R-410A can vary depending on factors like location and supplier, but on average it can range from $5 to $10 per pound. It's always best to check with local suppliers for the most current pricing.

Most home systems use R-22 refrigerant. R-410a, known as PURON, is also an increasingly used refrigerant. If you see a pink sticker on the outdoor unit, it will say on the tag with the model and serial numbers r22 or 410a. "Freon" is a trademark of DuPont, and is NOT the real name of refrigerant. "Freon" was R12 and is no longer made.
Heat pumps that use R-410A should be checked for leaks with a tester when efficiency drops. Leaks often occur around the compressor or seals.
