A smarter way to fund home improvements.

When home projects feel bigger than expected, your neighbors at HRCU are here to help. A Home Equity Line of Credit gives you flexible access to the funds you need - so you can more forward with confidence. Turn those "Do it Yourself" projects into "Do it Together" wins. 

How can a HELOC help you?

A HELOC lets you tap into the equity you've built in your home and use it when - and how - you need it. 
With a HELOC from HRCU, you can:

  • Handle any home projects from kitchen updates and roof replacements to added living spaces and unexpected home repairs.
  • Access your funds as you need them. Draw only what you use, when you need it.
  • Expect a more affordable option with lower rates than credit cards or personal loans. 
  • Pay interest only on what you borrow to keep costs manageable as your project progresses. 
  • Work with local HRCU lenders who understand New Hampshire homes and homeowners. 

We are here to help New Hampshire homeowners turn "Do it Yourself" plans into "Do it Together" successes - 
with flexible financing and local guidance you can trust. 

What is a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)?

Learn more about your financial options when improving your home, without the heavy burden and high interest of 
credit cards and personal loans. 

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.
