Yes, you can just refinance the LOC. Keep in mind, if you refinance it with a fixed HEL, then you may have a higher minimum payment, because that requires you to pay more of the principal, where a LOC may have an interest only option. With excellent credit, you may be able to get a rate that is 1 - 3% lower, but it may not be worthwhile after you factor in closing costs.
