My house was built in the 70s, and the wiring dates from then, except that I recently had a fancy new fuse box fitted, plus a new fuse box for the shower. This problem existed before these were fitted...which is simply that, for example, if the shower is switched on, the lights dim perceptibly. It can be appliances in different rooms, or even different circuits, as the shower example shows. I can't really say if this is getting any worse - it may be that I am just noticing it more. I don't know if there is a connection, but I do seem to go through a lot of light bulbs. My overall electric usage is probably about average, heating is gas-fired, gas cooker, etc.
Any ideas? Nothing untoward was found when the new boxes were installed, although the old ones were of the fuse wire type. Thanks for any help.
