The effects of not having electricity for a few weeks depends largely on the weather. In a humid climate during the rainy season, you may find that the drywall becomes damp and, later, mold may develop. When the air conditioner comes back on, it may take awhile to dry out the home and to get the walls cool again. In a dry winter, your ceiling and other weight bearing walls may develop cracks as the wood contracts. Also, you should winterize and drain your pipes so they do not freeze and burst. Your appliances should be fine; however, if the lack of electricity causes your freezer foods to defrost without any ice crystals, you should empty and clean out the freezer and refrigerator. Wash them out and block the doors so they stay open.
