Your energy bills and water rates don't spike only because of "cost of living." When a hot water system starts failing, they creep up too.
More laundry, more showers, kids back into an active routine: this all means spring demand on hot water goes up, and an ageing system quietly works harder to keep up. That extra effort shows up as cents per day, easy to miss, until you add up three months of it.
If your last few bills felt higher than they should for no clear reason, your hot water system is worth a look before you blame anything else.
