An equity loan has to be repaid in one year or it either will be refinanced automatically by the bank or it will go into default if not paid in a year.
Better of refinancing if your credit is not horrible.
Chase has no money right now so it would be a horrible choice. Right now National City and Bank of America are the banks that have money to offer credit. I work in the Finance industry.

Home equity without a doubt. Way too many points (money) to pay to refinance. Also an expensive appraisal. I have had 2 banks offer to give a home equity loan for nothing but the interest they would get! No points and they pay for the appraisal. All the banks are doing it. Try the bank where you have your accounts first. Chase bank is hungry for that type of loan interest. Good luck.
