HELOC refinance refers to replacing your current Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) with a new loan or credit line, usually to get better terms—such as a lower interest rate, a fixed rate instead of variable, or a longer repayment period.
In the context of your home loan, it means you're restructuring how you use your home’s equity. This can help:
Lower monthly payments
Combine your mortgage and HELOC into one loan
Lock in a stable interest rate
Get more borrowing flexibility
Before refinancing, it's important to compare costs, fees, and terms. PFScores provides helpful resources to understand whether HELOC refinancing is a smart financial move for your situation.

Can you refinance your house after getting a home equity line of credit?
Technically, yes, but the home equity line of credit is a lien against your home and will have to be paid off when you refinance the house. In reality, many people find that the unpaid balance on the HELOC, plus the unpaid balance on the original mortgage, exceeds the amount the bank will lend on the refinance. Before you apply for the refinance, just talk with your lender. They can probably walk you through the numbers on the phone and determine pretty quickly whether or not you have enough equity to refinance. If you bought your home several years ago, you may have to have an appraisal done to find out the maximum amount the bank will lend.

If you have a second note can you still get an equity line?
Typically not (unless the bank is VERY sloppy on their paperwork). What you can typically do is refinance the second into the home equity line. For example, you qualify for a $50K home equity line of credit (HELOC) but already have a $25K balance on your second mortgage. The bank would refinance the existing second with the HELOC. You would then have $25K remaning available to draw on the line.
