Default Electric breaker up-grade



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.


Its pretty rare a agerd breaker box will allow enough upgrade space to
fix this overload trouble.

On lights dimming certain fluroscents can do this under normal
operating voltages, cheap fixtures the cause
