first a warning about running that antenna that way.

with no ground rod attached to your antenna mast, any charges that build up on your antenna (can happen from an approaching lightning storm, or even high winds) are going to dissipate through your radio chassis, and on to your house AC system, which is probably sub-par when it comes to the radio hobby.

aside from that, you might have some areas of your house wiring that are connected incorrectly, but this is too much to guess about over the interwebs.

your best bet with this is to get a qualified electrician to come to the house and see if everything is wired correctly with no shared neutral wiring (very common mistake found these days) and nothing wired backwards.
