A humidifier can be added to the system. It will evaporate moisture into the air to raise the relative humidity. You will see these devices up north. All houses "breathe" to some extent. If the outside air is very cold then it's absolute moisture content is very low. Once that dry air is "breathed" into the house and heated, the relative humidity will be very low. A humidifier will bring the relative humidity up to more comfortable levels. They really aren't needed here.
