That part is either too long a run of too small a wire from the pole to 
the house, too small a service in the house, or a poor connection in one 
of the overhead terminations/ junction boxes...or too small a pole pig.  
When we built the house over at Breckenridge MI we burned the pole pig 
to a crisp in just a couple of hours. It took them two days to fix...in 
freezing temps while I had a house full of wet plaster. (and all we were 
using were the basement heaters as space heaters - 6400 watts each)
When we went to the 200 amp service here, there were no more dimming 
lights.  Actually I have a 200 amp service for the shop and one for the 
house while both have their own gas feeds and meters.
