Return air vent in a strange place

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 honestly great and the local residents were honestly friendly. There is plenty of outdoor space to garden and relax, but best of all, all of the appliances came brand new installed in the house. I was honestly happy to have a modern updated living room, energy-efficient lighting, as well as a super powerful HVAC system. The heating and cooling supplier who installed the central HVAC system really went above and beyond with the high quality air handling unit that they chose. They put in a super energy-efficient forced air gas furnace and large air conditioning unit. They also installed a smart control device as well as zone controlled heating and cooling. The only thing that they didn’t consider was the location of the air return vent for our Central heating and A/C system. For some reason, they located the air return vent right in the kitchen. This might not seem like an awful idea, until you realize how much cooking we do on a weekly basis. The air return vent is constantly sucking up our burning hot, smelly cooked air and dispersing it through the entire central heating and cooling system. Our filtration system cannot remove the smells from our cooking and our heating and A/C unit is working harder to combat the higher indoor air temperature everyday. We’re either going to have to spend money for the air return vents to be relocated anywhere else along the air duct system, or we’re going to have to stop cooking so much fish.
