Resist "no cost" refinancing. No cost doesn't mean free. On the contrary: The closing costs are usually bundled into the new mortgage, which means you pay interest on them. The fees associated with a 30-year mortgage could cost you more than double what they would have had you simply written a check for them at closing. Or, if the costs aren't bundled in, you'll be charged a slightly higher interest rate. Either way, the lender wins.
If you are able to get a lower rate that what you currently have, you can save tens of thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. Also, most lenders don't charge as many fees to refinance a mortgage and depending on how much equity you have in your home you may be able to roll the closing costs into your new loan, still have a lower balance than your original loan, a lower rate, and a lower payment.
