the same way you would if you were in a standard room or full hgt basement except w/dirt, mud, Spiders, bugs, snakes and very little room or light to work in. The absolutely best way is to hire a reputable small heating and a.c. co. to do it. right now you should be able to get it done at a good price as they all need the work and I'm not a shill for the tradespeople, just speaking from experience.
Yes cooling requires larger duct work. Typically you would size the duct work for the cooling system and heat will work fine as well
The answer is quite simple, your duct work is not insulated somewhere. What is happening is the really cold air is blowing through the duct work and where it is not insulated, its causing condensation to form. It then builds up and starts dripping. You can either go to a hardware store and ask them for duct wrap or just buy a roll of fiberglass insulation and wrap it around and secure with duct tape.
Sure, ductwork only carries hot air from the source to the living space. It does not matter what the source is.
With duct tape I install and maintain duct work for a living if you want to seal the joints just wrap the tape around the duct. If you need to cover a hole you will need to screw a piece of metal on the duct over the hole and tape over the edges of your patch. this is the simplest and cheapest way I know to do it.
I did this exact thing in 2000. had a 4 ft crawl space under a 25 x 20. $18,000. No plumbing. I contracted every thing out except painting , insulation and heating duct work. what a great family room. m_stevens@roadrunner.com
yes. during my house renovation it was poured into my crawl space before the duct work guys came a day before and 3snakes that was hiding in my crawl space came out rather fast. TURPENTINE really worksππ½
They walk in space to collect something from outside the craft, or to repair something if stuck or damaged.
Tins smiths, work with sheet metal on construction jobs, construct steel shingles for doors and windows, they inspect and maintain, repair, and do duct work

If your apartment does not have duct work, the owner of the building has not had it installed. Perhaps they felt it would be too costly to install, or perhaps they are simply not interested in or see a need for duct work.
For round duct, measure from one side to the other, and you have the diameter.
The duct work probably runs through an area that is hot and humid, i.e. attic space, and it isn't insulated.
I need to get some duct cleaning work done in an office building I just bought. Can I do this myself or do you recommend a specialist?
Diffrent color duct tape could work or sparkles.
Do I need special tools for hood duct cleaning? Is regular duct cleaning type equipment satisfactory?

I work really long hours but need to get my ducts clean. How can I find someone who does residential duct cleaning in the evenings?
