Cutler Hammer GFCI Breaker

Hey everyone, I have a question regarding GFCI Breaker or GFCI WR Outlet. We have a home with a geothermal system that uses an external condensate pump to remove the water and pump it out. It is currently on a 15 amp GFCI breaker under the house. Whenever the weather get extremely hot and humid (Live in Southern New Jersey near the shore) after running for a while the GFCI trips and we lose cold air due to what I believe is a high condensate shut off that protect the system internally. We have to crawl under the house and reset the GFCI and turn the air off for about 10 mins then we can turn the air on. This is extremely annoying so I am looking to see if it’s worth it to just swap the breaker to a GFCI and a standard WR outlet under the house. Do any of you think that it’s worth it go that route or to try and just replace the outlet with a better WR GFCI outlet? It only does this during high heat and humidity and the other 9 months out of the year the system is fine with running. (The breaker in question is the one that says spare by heater and there is only one outlet on the circuit)
