    At this time of the year you are heating water from a lower temp.
    No boiler temp and cylinder stat stay the same all year round

    What @Krakkkers is saying, the incoming cold water supply to the tank is now at a lower temperature than it was in summer, it will get even colder as we head into winter proper. It takes more energy to heat it up to the temperature the tank is set to.
