Units with electric heat draw noticeably more current in heat mode than in cool mode, so a circuit that copes all summer can trip in winter. That is a circuit question as much as an appliance one.
Owners can unplug the unit, clean the filter and confirm the tilt. Repeated breaker trips should be investigated rather than reset over and over, since they point either to the circuit or to a fault in the heating element.
