I've checked all the breaker switches.
The ac is getting power the temp shows. Any suggestions on what next would be appreciated.

I see a few issues here that could be causing your problems. (Your problem description is a bit confusing to my in the manner you have written it.) Troubleshoot each separately. Fix what you find and then test for the next possible issue. Use a meter to test for power.
1) Open up your ATS and look for overheated wires. This is a very common problem. Cut back the bad wire. Make certain ALL connections are tight, trouble seen or not. (

2) Xantrex is not the best inverter in the world. If you have AC power in and nothing out is is likely the inverter is dead.
3) In any case, if you have not checked the circuit breaker on the generator its self do so. Your 5500W generator may not be strong enough to carry both HVAC units. Are they the upgraded (high efficiency heat pump) option? Is the inverter the 1000W option?
Hope we are all inspiring you.
