Default Home Electrical question

Hello-

In our current home, anytime we turn on an appliance which draws a moderate
amount of current (vacuum cleaner, TV, etc.) there is a brief (.5 sec)
dimming effect throughout the house. This effect is not limited to any one
outlet.

Our house is relatively new (5 year old) and thus meets modern code
standards. Is the problem related to improper wiring of the electrical
panel, or is it just 'normal' drop when turning on a current drawing
appliance?

Thanks in advance.
