President Donald Trump accidentally tweeted about an HVAC company while flying aboard Air Force One on a trip to Texas.

The Ohio company replied to the president — and took the chance to ask for work at the White House or on the plane.

Trump, who was expressing his disgust with Fox News, initially tagged a Twitter account that belongs to Air Force One — a heating and cooling company with offices throughout Ohio — in the tweet to his 84 million followers.

Trump corrected the tweet, but a Yahoo News reporter grabbed a screenshot.

The company replied it “doesn’t take sides in politics but we’re flattered by the mention.”

“Unfortunately, HVAC techs don’t make great pilots but if this is an invitation to provide mechanical services in the White House or on Air Force One, we’re all ears!” the company tweeted.

As a family owned business, we don’t take sides in politics but we were flattered by the mention @realDonaldTrump. Unfortunately, HVAC techs don’t make great pilots but if this is an invitation to provide mechanical services in the White House or on Air Force One, we're all ears!
