Check for tripped breakers and reset your main breaker. If the main breaker is warm to the touch , call a qualified, licensed electrician immediately. If resetting the breaker does not fix the problem, it is possible you have lost one phase (leg) of your main power supply. Contact your utility company and have them inspect their service line for programs.

I replaced the lamp in my recessed light and it blinks on and off. What’s wrong?
Most recessed light fixtures contain a thermal cutoff device that de-energizes the lamp if temperatures exceed the rating of the housing. This commonly occurs when a lamp is replaced with one of a higher wattage. When the temperature within the fixture cools, the thermal will reset and the lamp will come back on. Installing the correct wattage lamp for the fixture will cure this.

I plug my hair dryer in the bathroom and when the air conditioner is on in the bedroom the breaker trips, Why?
This type of problem, common in older homes is due to overloaded circuits. The best solution is to run new circuits to the appliances that require more current. In this example a new 20 amp circuit for the bathroom and a new circuit for the air conditioner would be a good solution.
