Default Big problem with electrical

You've probably lost one of the two hot legs that feed your 120-240 volt
service. When any 240 volt appliance is on, you get a backfeed to the dead
leg causing things to come on dim. Don't try to use any 240 volt appliances,
and get an electrician. The problem could be outside, in your meter box,
your main circuit breaker, or in the street. Nothing to fool with if you're
not experienced
