My Heat Pumb is tripping the breaker. 1st time I reset it, the systems seems to be working fine but then it tripped again the next day. I reset the breaker once again and system seems to be working like it is suppose too. Until the breakers tripped in past 2 days, never had trouble with the system. Is this an indication of pending failure?

Thanks for the response. Any easy things that I could check (visual etc) to maybe save me hundreds in a tech looking at it?

Look for any BAD or lose wires inside the unit. Do the capacitors look good. If you dont know electric call a tech for sure
