My furnace is a gas hot water system. Lately when it comes on I can hear some water running in the baseboards . It does it for maybe 2 minutes. Seems to be heating ok but wondered if this is normal?

It's OK. The water travelling through the pipes will be heard for a few minutes at start up. You might want to check the system for air. Bleed the radiator/s that are on the last level of the house. Sometimes this will alleviate the running sound

You should not here the water . You have air , need to bleed, If you go down to your boiler. You will find a faucet looking valve usually over the pump with a shut of valve over it. Shut the valve open the faucet with a bucket or garden hose attached leading out side. Wait a few minutes you should here air spitting out. When done close facet open valve.

Perfectly normal - it means your system is working fine. We have an oil furnace/forced hot water system, and it's the same for us.

It's probably not the water you hear, it's air in the system. Bleed the system of air.

Yes everything is okay. It happens at my house too.
