FAQs

Home Equity Line of Credit

A HELOC is a revolving line of credit that lets you borrow against the equity you've built in your home. You can draw funds as needed during the draw period and only pay interest on the amount you use. 

A home equity loan gives you a lump sum all at once. A HELOC works more like a credit card - giving you flexibility to borrow, repay, and borrow again as your project progresses. 

A HELOC can be used for most home-related needs, including renovations, repairs, upgrades, or for consolidating your debt and covering unexpected expenses. Many homeowners also use it for ongoing or phased projects where costs happen over time.  

The amount you qualify for depends on factors like your home's value, the equity you've built, and your overall financial profile. A member of our experienced HRCU mortgage team can talk through your options and help you understand what's available to you. 

Timelines can vary, but HRCU works to make the process as smooth and straightforward as possible and can take from 2 to 6 weeks from application to funding. Our local team will guide you through each step and keep you informed along the way. 

No. If you’re approved, you’ll become a member of HRCU and gain access to all the benefits of banking with a local New Hampshire credit union.
