Place trays of water on each radiator. This puts moisture back into the air and reduces the chances for static shocks.

While I don't have the water radiators that you have, I live in the desert and the dry air tends to do the same.
If you have hard-surface floors, try adding a bit of fabric softener to your mop water, it won't make it slick and it will take care of the static.
If you have carpets, rent or purhase a steam cleaner and add a bit of fabric softener to that.
Use dryer sheets for dusting - it really helps pick stuff up, and, again, cuts down on the static. On your furniture, spray it down with water and (you guessed it...) fabric softener!
Good luck!

Or buy a humidifier... static electricity is mainly caused by dry air, so it should help. May be more practical than doing the trays of water, but you could give it a try. Goodluck!

Sounds like low humidity. Place a flat container, like a pie tin, on each radiator and keep full of water. Within a week the electricity should decrease.

Get a humidifier, that will reduce the static electricity.
