I think the key to answering this question properly is off in OP's comment here to Hanko Tanks' answer, empasis original:

I meant the implications, as in the long-term results of no electricity – AMACB 2016-01-21 02:43:43Z

Because neural transmission uses electrical impulses, brain activity is based on electrical impulses (compare EEG), and muscle activity is at least influenced by (and I think directly dependent on) electrical impulses, the simple result of removing electricity from our world becomes basically:

No biological activity.

In other words, magic occurs, and then we all collapse and die.

Sounds like it makes for a pretty dull world. At this point, lack of air conditioning would be the least of my concerns. Not that I'd have many concerns at all at that point, when the brain has shut down.
