Changing from pre-payment meters

This may sound like a very stupid question.......!!

My partner and I have just bought our first flat and the gas and electricity are prepayment meters. British gas are coming to take both of these out today. How long do I have to wait before I can change suppliers or can I do it immediately? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

    You can switch providers immediately. It'll take a few weeks to process, mind. You have no contract with British Gas, so just use uswitch, or a similar site, to find out the best deal and switch.

    Not forgetting to use the link on this site, it helps to fund the site to all of our benefit, and costs nothing.;)
