We recently bought an apt, top two floors of a Brownstone and noticed last night that the hot water in the bathroom runs hot for 10 seconds or so then runs cold. If I try it again a few minutes later the same thing happens. Hot, then cold. Had to do this a dozen times last night just to have a bath!

The previous owners had a brand new boiler installed recently, but I believe the hot water heater is around 10 years old.

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks!

P.S If the problem is the HW heater, how much does it cost to replace it?
