I recently moved into a older home which has an old house breaker system
that does not allow the house to properly operate its electric power. I
need to know can the house breaker system can be ugraded so that the
ligths don't blink when another appliance is turned


Like a refrigerator kicks on and the lights dims for a second or two? You
could put lights and outlets on different circuits or increase the wire
size. If you have low voltage at the service panel, ask your electrical
utility company if service voltage could be increased.

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?


First check if those two heaters are on the same circuit? If it is than
check if the circuit is really overloaded and if you have an over sized or
defective breaker.
