does radiant heat work under carpet in basement?

Is there any insulation underneath the slab and, if so, how much?
Carpet and under pad are reasonably good insulators and so more of
this heat will be re-directed downward and out of your home. It
doesn't strike me as a good idea, especially if the slab is
uninsulated.
Yes, the slab should be insulated from the ground no matter what floor
covering is selected.
