It's a sign of poor insulation. If you have air leaks around windows and doors, it compromises your indoor air temperature and can cause chills as well as increasing your heating bills. Use insulation and consider effective window treatments.

If your lights dim when you open the fridge or put a plug in a socket, it might be a sign of bad wiring or too many appliances hooked to one circuit.
