We have a forced air heating system and are doing full renos in entertainment room at one end of the house including flooring. This room is often colder than other rooms. In it there are both a cold air return and a warm air register. Do we need the cold air return in the room? There are two cold air returns in central hallway of house. Also, what space is required around cold air return? Can it be as little as an inch or two under a cabinet?

Appreciate what you are saying re the same amount of air having to leave the duct and go back to the furnace. This ductwork was apparently put in after rest of hosue after additional room was put in. Think that has to factor into situation too. My questions haven't really been answered. Do we need the cold air return in the room? What space is required around cold air return? Can it be as little as an inch or two under a cabinet?
