About mortgage refinancing:

Look for mortgage refinancing that best meets your particular needs. Read the loan agreement carefully, and compare the terms and conditions of various lenders, including the annual percentage rate (APR) and other fees. The APR for a home equity line is based on the interest rate alone and will not reflect the closing costs and other fees and charges, so you'll need to compare these costs, as well as the APRs, among lenders.

Home equity lines of credit generally involve variable instead of fixed interest rates. The variable rate must be based on a publicly available index (such as the prime rate); the interest rate for borrowing under the home equity line changes, mirroring fluctuations in the value of the index. Most lenders quote the interest rate you'll pay as the value of the index at a particular time and a "margin," such as 2 percentage points. It's important to find out which index is used, how often the value of the index changes, and how high it has risen in the past as well as the amount of the margin, since the cost of borrowing is tied directly to the value of the index.

Lenders usually offer a temporarily discounted interest rate for home equity lines which is unusually low and may last for only an introductory period. Variable-rate loans secured by a dwelling must have, by law, a ceiling (cap) on how much your interest rate may increase over the life of the loan. Some variable-rate loans limit how much your payment may increase and how low your interest rate may lower if interest rates drop.

Some lenders allow you to convert from a variable interest rate to a fixed rate, or to convert all or a portion of your line to a fixed-term installment loan. Plans generally allow the mortgage lender to freeze or reduce your credit line under certain circumstances. For example, some variable-rate plans may not allow drawing additional funds during an interest rate cap period.
