If it is cold and dry inside, it is very difficult to maintain heat for comfort. Adding humidity to the air gives the heat something to hold on to and will last longer at lower temps. If you don't have a humidifier try pan of water in the oven set on the lowest temperature setting 150-170 degrees F.
This is why cooling is easier during the summer. It's the removal of the humidity that makes the air feel cooler, because as we perspire the evaporation is more effective.
