Hot water, not have to turn it on and wait

Hi every time I have wanted hot water I would have to turn the boiler hot water on for an hour for it to heat up.

Is there a way to not have to do this and have hot water on demand without having the boiler on 24/7 running up a big bill?

I have this system http://www.uk-plumbing.com/Horstmann-Programmer-Channelplus-XL-H27-7-Day-2-Channel-p-1262.html?source=googlebase

If you can not see link it is the "Horstmann Programmer Channelplus XL H27 7 Day 2 Channel"

Thanks!

    Some boiler offer a system to reduce warm up time, but they co course use gas i take it its a combi boiler you've got. Without purchasing such a boiler there no way to do it really.

    Could you describe what system you currently have.

    E'g I have a Y-plan gas central heating system. The programmer switches the water on for an hour in the morning and a hour at night.
    The hot water tank is well insulated so I've hot water when ever i need it.
    Other systems include Combination boilers which don't use tanks but heat the water on demand.

    I suggest you obtain the operating instructions for your programmer.
