I don't care what type of heat you use it all will dry the air thus lowering the moisture in the air it is heating, just like a dryer heats up your clothes to remove the moisture, hair dryers do the same. While warmer air can hold more moisture and have lower RH the lower temp air still contains the same amount of moisture but at a higher RH. Take the temp in you refrigerator and see how much the rh is to compare it to the humidity in your house is. Wood, coal , electric base board , radiators, heat pump, gas, kerosen heators, oil circulators, oil burners, did i miss any, will more than dry what the occupants can produce which is why you get dry skin in the winter and oily skin in the summer.
