Does your furnace have a humidifier attached to it? Typically that's the best way to deal with dry air issues in the wintertime (just be sure to turn it off in the summers and make sure it gets cleaned before you turn it on each winter). They typically cost about $250 + installation and really help in the wintertime.

You might also try supplemental humidifiers at night in bedrooms (in addition to the whole house humidifier).

For the first couple of weeks after a duct cleaning, the unit will blow the leftover debris into the house. That may be part of the problem. You can put little filters over the vents if oyu want. You can get the material at the hardware store. It comes in sheets and can be cut to fit.

If you don't want to go to the expense of buying humidifiers, you can simmer a large pot of water on your stove.

Hope this helps.
