I see a bank of what seems to be DPST relays immediately below the gutter.

We think you're looking at a low voltage switch system with 120 vac still going to the light fixture. Only the switches would be 12 vdc, and they activate those high voltage relays.
There's no need to rip it all out, unless replacement parts get scarce.

I'd rip it all out...it looks like a bunch of StabLok panels.

Kyle, out of curiosity, can you get that bulletin # off of the relay?

Hey. Sorry to question & drop out of sight, again... The extended weekend from HELL on top of being WAY too busy lately.
Yah, Kurt, their all Stablok panels. Six of them actually. They won't be there much longer.
Things weren't making sense to me about the relays cause none of the lights switches were low voltage switches, until I remembered the listing agent saying something about the house initially being set up for electric baseboard heat that was never finished, but changed to F/A which is the current heating system. There were electric/line voltage, thermostats in several rooms and that now makes a bit more sense.
I'm not used to relays in residential construction. Use them plenty in electronics and high amperage industrial equipment, automotive electrical but they look a lot different than these.
Marc, the Bul. # is 700.
