Is a Whole house fan an asset?

I have a whole housefan in my ranch home, installed
in the center, of the home. It works beautifully, especially
in the cool nights of the summer. Its a quality unit, that I
installed about 10 years ago. It draws air through the windows
of all the rooms, out to the attic, and out to the ridge vents and
soffit vents. We don't use it anymore ,due to airconditioning,
and problems with outside allergies.
Down the road, we will be selling the home. We are debating wether
to remove it or keep it. We will be repainting and we are thinking about
removing it. Will it make any difference in selling our home?
Thaks for your opinon,

I have them in my house and we use them about half the year but we
don't really have a heating season (SW Fla) . The down side is you
lose a lot of heat through the louvers when the heat is on. They don't
have much of an insulation rating
They sell insulated box-shape lids you can drop over them, but you have
to get up there twice a year to fuss with it. (Of course, you should
have one of those lids over the pull-down staircase as well...)
