Bristol climate
by the numbers
Bristol's unique plumbing challenges
About 140 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out
The oldest blocks in town run plumbing decades older than the newer builds toward East Bloomfield
First frost typically lands around October 27
Seasonal timing
Between the first frost around Oct 27 and the last hard cold, a heater runs closer to full duty than it does the rest of the year.

Yes, in the sense that dissolved minerals drop out as scale when water is heated, and that layer insulates the burner or coats the elements. Homes with noticeably scaly fixtures usually see tanks fail earlier than homes with softer water. Plumbers working Canadice see it constantly.
Because the water coming in is colder, so the heater has to raise it further and takes longer to recover between draws. If the drop is sudden rather than seasonal, a failed lower element or heavy sediment is the more likely cause.
Often it's a reaction between the anode rod and bacteria in the tank, especially on well systems. A plumber can confirm the source and go over anode options rather than guessing at the fixture end.
Call a plumber and describe what changed, including any noise, water on the floor, or a tripped breaker. If you see water pooling at the base of the tank, shut the water off at the main valve first.
