Refrigerant
Split system heat pumps are intended to be installed with
matching indoor sections only. The 38AUQ heat pump outdoor
units are matched only with same-size 40RUQ indoor sections.
Existing R-22 indoor coils cannot be converted to R-410A heat
pump duty. Only the existing refrigerant piping is a candidate
for retrofit use.
