Just put some plastic dishes with water in it around your place, either next to the heat registers, or by the baseboard heaters. It will evaporate the water into the air, and work as a cheaper humidifier. If it works, then snag a Honeywell from Canadian Tire... If you buy, go with a cool mist humidifier, as it won't give off additional heat.

We notice a big difference in our house, especially since my son is somewhat asthmatic and prone to respiratory issues.

I'd recommend this unit, the Honeywell HCM-890: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/...?locale=en

We've had one for years, and works like a charm. Easy to clean, and you can get the replacement wicks/filters at Walmart or Canadian Tire.
