I recently moved into a older home which has an old house breaker system

need to know can the house breaker system can be ugraded so that the
ligths don't blink when another appliance is turned on or an electric
heater is on and another heater is turned on in another room at the same
time and the breaker switch will not kick to the off position? How can I
fix this problem?

Felder and RBM have hit the nail dead-on here--the problem as described
_won't_ be solved by simply a new breaker box, even w/ higher total
service. You have overloaded circuits as is, and only either adding
circuits or upgrading their ampacity (which requires larger wiring, not
just a breaker) or balancing the existing loads across existing
circuits will accomplish.

The dimming of lights on switching transients is another symptom of the
overloaded (or nearly so) conditions.

One solution, assuming the house has it, is to go to the central
heating system as opposed to the space heaters.
