Keeps tripping the breaker after running for about 10 minutes or longer. I have tried running it on air only and it does not trip the breaker.

Obviously your heating element is drawing too much current for some reason. I recommend you stop trying to run it with the heater.

Unit shuts off on hot days

It may be low on refrigerant. On hotter days, the compressor has to run longer to reach the temperature you have on your thermostat. Have it checked for the proper refrigerant charge and have them test how many amps that the compressor is pulluig as well. With the proper breaker installed, the unit should not be tripping out. Make sure that the breaker that is in there now is actually the proper one for your unit.
