How Does a Home Equity Line of Credit Work?

A HELOC gives you access to a line of credit with a set limit, somewhat like a credit card. The amount of the loan is determined based on the appraised value of your home, minus the balance remaining on your mortgage. 

When your loan application is approved, a specified amount of revolving credit is made available to you for a limited time period (typically 5 or 10 years). 

During what is called a “draw period,” you can withdraw funds from the line of credit as you need them. As you pay off the principal, your credit revolves, and you can use it again and again for the duration of the draw period.

With a home equity line of credit from Bellco FCU, you can use the funds for large or unexpected expenses, such as home remodeling, a new roof, a child’s wedding, or to pay off high-interest debts, as well as for periodic expenses such as emergency funds, tuition, and home improvements.

In comparison to other loans that use the equity in your home as collateral, a HELOC offers a variety of benefits:

  • Draw out only what you need, when you need it

  • Pay interest only on amounts you withdraw 

  • Draw options include checks, online access, telephone access, and branch access

  • Repay the principal and reuse the funds over and over again during the draw period 

  • Interest may be tax-deductible (consult a tax advisor)

  • Local, Pennsylvania decision-making and processing 

  • Attentive, friendly service from start to finish 

  • Bellco Loan Protection is available

If you need funds all at once, a traditional home equity loan may make more sense for you. The home equity loan is considered a second mortgage and may have a higher interest rate than that of your first (primary) mortgage. The funds are provided in a lump sum, and then you make monthly payments to repay the loan.
