Most electric no-heat calls come down to supply voltage (one breaker leg), a blown thermal fuse from a restricted vent, a tripped high-limit, or an open element. Always fix the airflow cause, or the new fuse will blow again.

Tripping when heat starts usually points to a heater element shorted to its housing; tripping at start points to the motor or wiring; tripping at random may be a weak breaker or loose connection. Rule out the terminal block and cord first.
