Just watch that you don't over-humidify the house during cold weather.
If your windows are sweating with moisture, think of all of the places where warm air meets cold exterior walls...
At my last house, I was running two Holmes cool air wick-type (?) humidifiers feeding them 3 or so gallons a day of RO water, keeping indoor humidity at or above 40% RH, and there was some mold found behind some insulation in the garage during the home inspection when I went to sell that house. Now (at the next house) I keep my central heater's humidistat at the level for -20 deg F
