Voting Question: I have never applied for a home equity loan. Do you know anything about it?

I have a Chase credit card, and they have always kept their word and I applied for a fixed home equity line of credit for 4 yrs. The fixed rate is 7.8%. I am not sure if that is good or not
Should I apply at more than 1 bank? Will other banks, loan companies possibly give me a better fixed rate? My home is paid for. My dad sold it to me for $1 before his death. I only want a fixed rate, not adjustable and asking for $11, 000. for the roof and tuck pointing the chimney and fixing some vents up there.
I desperately need a roof since the house is very, very old. The roof is running water all over the floor.
