Air return vent is right by the smelly kitchen

When I moved into this home I genuinely thought that it was paradise on earth.

It was brand new and I had never lived in such a sparkly clean residence before.

The neighborhood was absolutely adorable and the local residents were very friendly. There is plenty of outdoor space to garden and relax. Best of all, all of the appliances came brand new installed in the house. I was very excited to have a modern updated kitchen, energy-efficient lighting, and a super powerful heating and cooling system. The heating and cooling contractor who installed the central HVAC system really went above and beyond with the high quality air handling equipment that they chose. They put in a super energy-efficient forced air furnace and large air conditioning unit. They also installed a smart thermostat and zone controlled Heating and Cooling. The only thing that they didn’t consider was the location of the air return vent for our Central HVAC system. For some reason, they located the air return vent right in the modern kitchen. This might not seem like a bad idea, until you realize how much cooking we do on a daily basis. The air return vent is constantly sucking up our burning hot, smelly cooking air and dispersing it through the entire central heating and cooling system. Our filtration system can’t remove the smells from our cooking and our HVAC equipment is working harder to combat the higher indoor air temperature everyday. We’re either going to have to pay for the air return vents to be relocated somewhere else along the air duct system, or we’re going to have to stop cooking so much fish.
