1. Can a radiant floor be installed under laminate? yes
2. Do I need to have a professional install it for me or is this something I can do myself? depends on how good a DIY'R you are. I would recommend a professional for this particular job.
3. Is it true that I don't need to heat the entire room; just an area in the center? I'm guessing you wouldn't really need to heat under furniture, TV stand, etc, correct? A radiant floor will radiate the heat out to the boundaries of the room anyway, right?
depends on how well your house is insulated, you could get cold spots.
4. Can a timer be hooked up to the radiant floor thermostat? yes
