Default Attic fan question

I think I know the answer to this, but I want to get some feedback.

We live in a hot climate. The second story of our house was built
into the attic. The upstairs and downstairs have separate air
conditioners. The attic is reasonably well insulated and vented, but
it had two attic fans. About two years ago one of the fans quit
working. About a year ago the one on the other end quit working. Now
starting about noon or 1PM on hot days we can feel hot air coming down
the stairwell. The upstairs a/c can't keep up - it gets up to 5
degrees above the thermostat setting. The a/c seems to be working, it
just can't keep up when the attic gets so hot. It gets over 120F in
the attic.

It would be worth it to get the attic fans fixed, right?
