Aha!!! But we never use the fireplace and the furnace/heat pump at the same time. Aren't we smart??

I have to agree that return is a bit close to the fireplace????

Keep in mind that there are many furnaces that can have the return piped to the back side of a fireplace heat exchanger and just use the blower of the furnace to move the heated air through out the home.
