Yeah but you have to be liscensed to handle it i believe
But propane is fine to handle without liscense

R22 and R12 requre a lisence
The whole point of r134a is that it doesent harm the ozone and therfore dosent require special handling.

It is my understandin that r404 along with all other hydrocarbons need no liscence.
Reason they are not used in fridges and air conditioning systems is their flammability.

Actually r404 isn't the mother of all refrigerants.All people new to phase change think r404 is going to automatically make their system perform the greatest which is not true.R290 is perfect for starting out with, once you figure out what your doing then you can go buy an expensive refrigerant and use it instead of wasting it on learning refrigeration.

A good refrigerant is good to have, however along with that refrigerant you need everything calibrated and put together right to take advantage of the gas. Start with propane and go from there if you dont like it.
I own a small auto dealership and bought some refrig that was to be a replacement for R12. Guess what?????
It was as explosive as a degenerate mental dude covered in gas with a newly fueled and flinted ZIPPO lighter opened up in his dirty shaking hand, from a life of booze, pills and pain!! lol
BE CAREFUL what you use and Always ask to be sure it is not flameable! R134 is cheap, safe and available almost anywhere.
B Safe and Stay Cool!
