At least once a year, or whatever interval your manufacturer specifies. Annual service replaces oil, filters and spark plugs and catches problems before they leave you without power.
The most common cause is a weak or dead starting battery. Other causes include a closed fuel valve or fuel supply problem, a tripped breaker, worn spark plugs or filters, and controller faults. A battery test and annual maintenance prevent most of these.
A load bank test runs the generator under a controlled electrical load, simulating a real outage. It shows whether the generator can hold steady voltage and frequency while carrying your house, which the unloaded weekly self-test can't tell you.
