Do you have any problems with your 240 volt appliances? If not it sounds like it could be a problem with your neutral.Corrosion can drop the effective size of your neutral so that even small loads will overload its capacity. Check from your weatherhead to your meterbase and from your meterbase to your breaker panel. Have the utility check the neutral on your triplex service drop.

I've seen instances where squirrels have gnawed into the bare neutral in the triplex service drop.
