It's an air conditioner. It is supposed to shut off now and then. It has 
a sensor inside the heater box that tells the compressor to shut off if 
it gets too cold. It's there to prevent ICING. If you've ever stayed in 
a cheap motel you will understand.

Using recirc will make the system's job easier, and the time between 
'rests' will change.
