In the winter here it gets pretty humid so every once in a while I put my dehumidifier in the van to get the accumulated moisture out. That way I don't have to use the fan as much.

You can have a block heater or coolant heater installed that plugs into a 110V outlet that warms up the engine. With a timer you can set it to warm up the car before you get up in the morning so you have instant heat. This is good for FE as well because the engine gets up to operating temperature much quicker. I have one that I use year round because I have a short commute.
