TK SHK in Berlin-Lichtenrade plans and installs heat pumps for new buildings and modernisation projects in Berlin and Brandenburg. Whether a detached house, apartment building or larger system, we match the equipment to your building. You can also contact us about conversion, replacing an existing heat pump and maintenance.
The right heat pump solution starts with your building. Key factors include the radiators or underfloor heating, previous energy consumption, hot water needs and possible equipment locations. This information helps establish which work your project requires. A flat price for the unit alone usually does not reflect the cost of a complete heating replacement.
Is a heat pump suitable for your building?
Whether a detached house, apartment building or commercial property, we first assess the condition of the existing system and your goals. Do you need a completely new heating system, a replacement for an old one or a gradual upgrade? Existing radiators do not automatically rule out a heat pump. What matters is the temperature and heating output your building actually needs.
For the initial discussion, useful details include the construction year, heated floor area, insulation, number of occupants and previous energy consumption. Existing heating load calculations or earlier system plans can also help. A reliable system design and a specific quotation require an assessment of the actual conditions at your property.
New buildings, existing properties and larger heat pump systems
We discuss planning, installation, conversion, replacement and maintenance for detached houses, apartment buildings and larger properties. In new buildings, we coordinate the heating with the building plans; in existing and older properties, with the equipment already installed. For larger systems, we assess the needs and whether a cascade of several units may be suitable. You can also contact us about replacing an existing heat pump or about maintenance, providing the manufacturer, model and details of the system.
What to clarify before installation
For an air-to-water heat pump, we consider the location of the outdoor unit, pipe routes and the connection to the heating system. Noise, neighbouring properties, maintenance access and condensate drainage are also part of the planning. Indoors, the proposed components, including hot water equipment and any storage tank, must fit the available space.
The electrical connection, possible changes to radiators or underfloor heating, and coordination with other parties are part of defining the project. Before work begins, we agree which services TK SHK will provide and how the work connects with other trades. This makes the scope clear and helps you compare quotations.
From your old heating system to a new heat pump
When replacing a heating system, we assess more than the new unit. Connections, heating circuits, hot water and existing controls must work together. Depending on the starting point, changes to pipes, radiators or the distribution system may be useful. Removal of the old system and the subsequent work are described in the agreed scope of services.
If you plan to replace a gas boiler, please tell us its manufacturer, model, approximate age and how hot water is provided. Where several apartments share a system, access and coordination with the owners or property management are important. We clarify possible supply interruptions and the work sequence before starting.
What information helps us assess the costs?
The total cost depends on the required system and the work in your building. This may include removal of the old equipment, pipework, storage tanks, changes to radiators or underfloor heating, and electrical connections. Photos of the boiler room, existing heating and possible installation location help us identify what needs discussion. A floor plan or existing planning documents can support your enquiry.
Our existing cost and grant eligibility checks provide an initial guide. Their results do not replace a quotation tailored to your building. Grant eligibility depends on the current conditions and your project. Check these before making binding decisions; no grant or specific grant amount is promised here.

How to start your heat pump enquiry
- Describe the location and building: provide the postcode, building type, heated floor area and existing heating system.
- Explain your project: state whether the heat pump is for a new building or a heating replacement, your preferred timeframe and any known special requirements.
- Add documents: photos, consumption data and existing plans help us discuss your project with you.
- Agree the next steps: we clarify missing information, any assessment needed, the scope of services and further planning.
Heat pump enquiries from Berlin and Brandenburg
Our business is based at Barnetstraße 31a, 12305 Berlin-Lichtenrade. We welcome enquiries from all Berlin districts and Brandenburg, including Blankenfelde-Mahlow, Teltow, Großbeeren and Schönefeld. Whether we can take on your particular project depends on the location, scope and timing, which we discuss with you. The places listed are service areas, not additional branches.
Discuss other modernisation projects together
If you also want to replace a gas boiler or plan split or multi-split air conditioning, please mention this work in your enquiry. For several air conditioning units, details of the rooms, floor area and possible outdoor unit locations are helpful. We discuss the appropriate equipment and exact scope for your building.
Frequently asked questions about heat pumps
Can I use a heat pump with my existing radiators?
This may be possible. Relevant factors include heating needs, the size of the radiators or underfloor heating, and the required flow temperatures. The suitability of existing radiators and any useful adjustments must be assessed for your building.
Which heat pump is suitable for my house?
Floor area alone cannot determine this. The building's condition, heating needs, hot water and installation options all influence the choice. TK SHK will discuss the information needed and the next planning steps with you.
Can TK SHK discuss replacing my gas heating?
Yes. Send us details of your existing gas heating and the building. We will personally discuss your planned switch to a heat pump, possible changes and the proposed scope of services with you.
How soon can a heat pump be installed?
The date depends on planning, installation conditions, material availability and capacity. Tell us your preferred timeframe. A binding schedule can only be confirmed once the specific project has been agreed.
Which photos should I include with my enquiry?
Photos of the existing heating system, identification plate, connections, boiler room and possible outdoor unit location are helpful. Please focus on the technical conditions and avoid including people or other sensitive content.
Plan your heat pump with personal advice
Describe your project and its location. We will discuss what further information is needed for the next steps.
