Dry house = poorly insulated house.
The long term fix is to do a major insulation & air-sealing upgrade on your place (I am assuming you own it). Don't use fiberglass insulation.. that stuff is worthless. As an added bonus, your utility costs to heat and cool will drop dramatically.
When or if you want to do it, I can give you a game plan (building envelope stuff is a specialty of mine..).
After you fix up your place, you may have the opposite problem.. too much moisture in teh air (easy problem to address).
I'm curious what you'd recommend. Looking at buying my first house sometime later this year, making it winterproof is a top priority.
When my Dad bought his new pump I was looking through the catalog and they had a optional humidifier that was connected to the air handler and a water line would be connected to it so you don't have to fuck around and fill it up all the time.
That would be a good option depending on your setup. I haven't researched it myself but I'm sure there are plenty of similar kits that you could buy yourself and add to your existing setup if it's forced air.
