Start Saving on Your Garage Door Upgrade

A new garage door can do more than refresh your home’s exterior—it can also put money back in your pocket. With federal energy tax credits available through 2032, you can save hundreds of dollars each year while making your home more energy-efficient. Here’s how.

How Much Can You Save?

The federal energy tax credit allows homeowners to claim up to 30% of the product cost, capped at:

  • $250 per door (up to $500 annually for two or more doors).
  • Installation costs do not qualify but can still provide long-term savings through lower energy bills.

Example Savings:

If you purchase a garage door for $1,000, you can claim $250 as a tax credit, directly reducing your tax bill. That’s real money in your pocket!

Qualifying for the Tax Credit

Not every garage door qualifies for this program. Your door must meet these specific criteria:

  1. ENERGY STAR-Certified: The door must meet standards for energy efficiency in your climate zone.
  2. Low U-Factor: A U-factor of 0.35 or less ensures the door minimizes heat transfer.
  3. Proper Installation: The door must be properly installed by a certified technician and is part of your primary U.S. residence.

Use the ENERGY STAR Certified Product Directory to confirm your door’s eligibility.

  2. Plan Ahead: Spread improvements over multiple years to optimize annual limits.
