If this is a new problem on an existing whole-house system, it sounds serious. I would not continue to reset, as you may be risking a fire. You could call the company that manufactured the system for advice, as they may be able to walk you through a simple trouble-shooting. If all else fails, call a repair technician. Don't take any chances with the safety of you family and home. Good luck.

We had this same problem anytime we set the heater to anything less than 70 degrees. We had to call a repairman and get a part replaced. It cost about $50. He told us our furnace was probably going to need replaced in the next year or two. It turns out the brand of furnace in our house is a really poor brand.

Your heater is pulling too much electricity for the breaker to handle. Get some space heaters.

Probably a weak breaker. Maybe faulty heater. Call a professional. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES INSTALL A HIGHER RATED CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE WITHOUT ALSO INSTALLING HIGHER RATED WIRING. Overcurrent protection trips for a reason. Wire is sized for the overcurrent proctection FOR A REASON.
