Roman Electric Heating and Cooling is a one-person HVAC and electrical operation around Pembroke, MA, run by Michael Roman — homeowners call him for AC repairs and diagnostics as well as electrical fixes like gas leaks, smoke detectors and thermostats. The reviews span 2018 through 2026 across Angi and HomeAdvisor, and many describe fast turnarounds: getting an AC running again within hours during a heat wave, fitting a same-day repair into a packed schedule, coming out on a Sunday when a system failed. Some reviewers say they called him back for a second job — a gas leak repair and smoke detector swap after an earlier visit, for instance — and describe him explaining the work clearly before doing it. There are real complaints too: a 2026 review says the reviewer paid a $675 diagnostic fee on a rental unit's air conditioner and was then told it couldn't be repaired; a brief 2024 review says the company overcharged the reviewer's parents; and in an older, 2019 review, a customer described a newly installed thermostat that buzzed and repeated calls afterward. His Massachusetts electrician license, registry-verified as #4093, is currently expired — worth asking about directly, especially for electrical work. This is a reasonable call for routine AC repair and diagnostics, but given the license status and the billing complaints, confirm current licensing and settle pricing up front before signing on for a bigger job.
I do not recommend Michael Roman based on my experience. Last summer, I contacted him to diagnose and replace the AC in one of my rental units. He responded quickly and spent several hours diagnosing the problem, charging me $675. Afterward, he told me the AC was beyond repair and needed to be replaced. When he returned to install the new unit, he installed a different brand than the one he had originally promised and charged me $850. He also persuaded me to install an AC with a heat pump, even though I did not need that feature. Since I was not available at the property at the time, I felt I had little choice. To make matters worse, he left without testing the new AC. Later, my tenant informed me that it was not working. I had to contact him again, and he installed a temporary AC unit that had a very strong, unpleasant smell. It took a third visit before he finally installed a standard AC that worked properly. Even now, I have not received the receipt he promised, the owner's man
Quick, friendly, expert service to fix to our central A/C.
Mike was fantasric. He came at night to assess our central AC which wasn't working (we moved to the house in winter so we never used it ). I was getting a hip replacement the next day and needed the house to be cool. Mike knew what to do and got the system working. He did not want to leave me in a humid hot house during my recovery. Great guy. Highly recommended. He also does electrical work and more.. thanks, Mike!
Mike Roman showed up right on time on July 16, 2025 to find out why my air conditioning was not blowing enough cold air on the second floor of my house. He found the air handler to be clogged with dust and started to clean the air handler. He spent two hours on the job and reported that he needed to come back for another day's work to make some significant modifications to improve the efficiency of my air conditioning system. For the two hours of work on July 16, 2025, he presented me with a bill for $450; that was for labor only. In other words, he was charging me a rate of $225 per hour. The following day, I left him a message that I wanted him to itemize the work he proposed to do when he was to return on July 30th because I might want to scale back the work in the interest of reducing the cost. Anyway, he never presented me with an estimate. Furthermore, he was a no-show for his scheduled appointment on July 30, 2025. In my opinion, Mike Roman is unreliable and crazy expensive.
Mike helped out with my air handler and AC unit. Had a 5 star experience! I appreciate his deep knowledge of HVAC and professionalism.
