I have an old Capri II ducted gas heater in a rental property which works well. However i need to find the KW output or a way to get this calculated to comply with healthy homes.

Alas i cannot find any specs online for the Capri II.

Any ideas?

Ask whoever you get to service it.

Yeah, it can be calculated. An HVAC engineer can crank the heater to the max, and measure the air flow, and change of temperature from ambiant at the discharge, and work out kW.

Do you have anyone you would recommend ?

ie the cost of replacing it would be in the thousands, so possibly worth some effort.
