Since 1941, Phil's Electric Company has been a fixture in San Francisco's Marina District. The Phil's Electric story began in World War II when Phil Sidari was commissioned to make artificial limbs for returning disabled veterans. After the war, Phil built homemade small appliances out of spare parts, since limited finished goods were available. Phil built his business on a foundation of honest and conscientious work.

After 30 years of hard work, Phil retired to his backyard  workshop in Corte Madera. In the late seventies, Bob and Vicki Evans took over Phil's Electric. Bob trained under Phil's expertise and continued to repair vacuums and lamps. Then Bob and Vicki added small appliance repair and sales, electric shaver repair and sales, and custom lamp making to their growing list of services.

To meet growing demands for a larger selection of retail items, in 1982 Phil's Electric Company moved from the Fillmore Street location to a larger shop on the corner of Lombard and Baker.  The goal was to make Phil's Electric a one-stop shop.  Phil's Electric now sells home and commercial vacuums, vacuum parts and bags, small appliances, electric shavers, and cleaning supplies.  We also repair lamps and chandeliers, and specialize in custom lamp design.

Bob and Vicki's concerns about both global and home environments led to the addition of air cleaners and the Miele® line of vacuum products. Miele® is the industry leader in filtration systems.

Recently, their son, Ken, joined Phil's Electric to help run the family business and to preserve the tradition of excellence that is courtesy and customer service.
