Sounds like the bulb.  When it is cold, take it out.  If it is a screw 
on type, you need a mogul based bulb.  It is likely 175W.

Another type is the double end type, it is likely 150W.

Both types are widely available in any online aquarium stores.

If the bulb is burning out, it must be in used for 3-4 years?
