Refrigerant type is an equipment design decision
R32 and R410A have different characteristics and safety classifications. R32 is classified as mildly flammable (A2L); equipment and service procedures must account for this. The original nameplate determines the approved refrigerant.
What a professional assessment should consider
Do not treat refrigerants as interchangeable drop-in products. Pressures, lubricants, controls, charging specifications and safety requirements must follow manufacturer instructions and applicable rules.
Useful information to send before booking
