That's a lot of voltage drop, for a 1500watt load! Three volts, maybe, but not thirteen!
It depends on the age of the home and the wiring methods used. It could be bad connections in junction boxes, etc.
In newer homes, it could be "backstabbed" connections used on the receptacles. When using a high current device, portable heater or window air conditioner, it's best to check to see if the plug or receptacle is running hot.
Maybe best, to get an electrician involved.
