Some details about which circuits the heater fan is on versus the lights you notice dim... Same question about the power tools and the light... Long wire run back to panel ? Perhaps voltage drop... Need more info... ~~ Evan |

That's assuming this is an old installation that worked fine before. Don't overlook the neutral connections. Loosen then retighten the connections. |

You need to do this urgently. Faults like this can cause fires/damage to electrical equipment.. You need to find this fault, if you can't, get someone in |
