No. The refrigerants are of different composition and use different lubricating oils. Not saying it cannot be done but the trouble is not worth it. The indoor coil for R-410A is also much larger to get the energy rate so it would be a looser all the way around. Get a matched coil for indoor and a quality unit for outdoor. Also replace the copper line set. NOTE: There are a few company's that are still making R-22 units for replacement only. They do not come charged with refrigerant. Contact a local qualified/knowledgeable contractor for more info.
