Are receptacles installed horizontally or vertically?
The NEC doesn't specify. Generally they are installed vertically with the ground on bottom. In the world that I work in the ground is always installed on top.

Expanding on this premise an outlet installed horizontally with the neutral on top is the most safe installation. But I have never seen this done.

What would cause your lights and television to blink off and on each time the central air kicks on in your condo?
It sounds like the air conditioner is not on a dedicated circuit. When it is on a circuit with other electrical equipment, the voltage is dragged down when a heavy load is applied to the circuit. Try plugging the A/C into another outlet and see if this lessens the voltage drop. If it does you might want to consider installing a circuit only for the air conditioner.
