My A/C coil needs to be replaced. My contractor recommends the
condenser be replaced now too. It's 15 years old but works just fine.
His reasoning is the new coil would be R22. If the condenser dies in
the next year or so I'll have to get a 410 unit and then I'd have to
get a new 410 coil at that time. In essence, buying 2 coils in a short
period of time. We plan to stay in the house for more than 5 years.

Sounds reasonable. I'd love some feedback from the group. Thanks.

That is sound advice. The reasoning is logical. So why are you here?

It wont hurt a 410 rated coil if you run r22 in it but if you later change
refrigerant over to 410 it will need to be thoroughly flushed which adds to
the materials and labor cost.
