Answer: While both work with electricity, a lineman specializes in the installation, maintenance, and repair of high-voltage overhead and underground power lines, which make up the transmission and distribution grid. This work is often outdoors, at significant heights, and in all weather conditions. An electrician, on the other hand, typically works on the low-voltage electrical systems within buildings—such as wiring, lighting, and circuit breakers. Our company manufactures a wide range of specialized equipment and tools specifically for the demanding work of linemen and other power line professionals.
