How close is the shower to the water heater?
If the hot water hasn't been run in a while, the hot water stored
in the pipes will cool off. If the house is air conditioned, it

AC cools off water pipes??????
It cools off *everything* in the house.
Not enough to penetrate sheetrock and cool off water pipes. I guess if
you have the capability of cooling your house to 60 degrees or so, you
might have a point. My home never gets below 78 degrees in the
summer.
And if you turned off the AC, that water might stay at 90. It would still be
cold for a shower.
I don't have AC.
