Major Update: Roofing Tax Credits in 2025
GAF Shingles That Qualify for Tax Credits in 2025
In June 2022, the EPA ended the ENERGY STAR® program for roofing products. Since then, no shingles may be marketed as ENERGY STAR certified.
However, many GAF shingles still meet Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) standards — and that matters.
Homeowners can claim up to 30% of qualifying roofing material costs (up to $1,200 annually) through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit.
To qualify:
-
Your roof must be installed on your primary residence.
-
The shingles must meet CRRC standards for reflectivity.
-
Only material costs count (not labor or accessories).
