Try heating your house when it's -40 out, then we'll talk about the hydro bill. Until then, you have nothing to complain about.
I use a portable dehumidifier in the winter months that's set to "medium" which keeps humidity around 48%. We also keep the furnace fan running all the time, which costs next to nothing on our high efficiency furnace, but it really helps to mix the air and filters it while it's at it (the fan runs all year actually). Doing this we get a little bit of condensation on the windows when its -25 or worse, but otherwise all good.
For those who are ruining your window sills with the condensation, use those kits to cover your windows in plastic and run the double sided tape on the outside edges of your window casings. You use a hair blow dryer on the plastic and it tightens up so you can see through it quite well, then trim the edges of plastic so it's tidy. The condensation will then only show up on the plastic and will save your windows. Very cheap solution.
