By the way, nothing fuel-burning in the laundry. It's an electric dryer. It's not vented to the exterior, and won't be, just has one of those useless buckets, so I've already called for a condensing dryer.
Well heck, if they are not venting a dryer to the exterior the HVAC return is an added bonus! Not only will it be sucking in hot air it will act like a humidifier. This could be a bonus in the winter time!
