When my MH are on, I use a muffin fan to blow air up from the basement through my canopy (upstairs) then it just vents to the room (no worries about moisture and have a system volume of ~200g). Figure it probably costs something less than 10 bucks a year.

Electrical cost calculator.

Exactly right. Turn down your furnace humidifer and distribute throughout your house during winter.
