What Is A HELOC?
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a flexible loan that lets you borrow against the equity in your home up to a certain limit. You can use the funds for any purpose and only make payments on the money you borrow.
HELOCs are great for consolidating high-interest debt or for property renovation projects.
Looking for a Long-term Fixed Rate?
Consider a home equity loan and get locked into a fixed rate. First Commonwealth offers terms up to 20 years so you can enjoy a predictable monthly payment for the life of your loan.

What Is Equity?
Equity is the difference between the value of your home and the remaining unpaid principal balance of your mortgage.
For instance, if your home is worth $250,000 and your mortgage balance is $100,000, your equity is $150,000.
What Is A Home Equity Loan?
A home equity loan is a one-time loan for a specified dollar amount at a fixed interest rate with a fixed repayment term. This type of loan has a predetermined monthly repayment amount and an amortization schedule for up to 15 years.
Home equity loans are great for one-time purchases like a new car or a home remodeling project.
