Advice for Gas & Elec

Hi Everyone
I am considering moving from Scottish Power, they currently provide me with Gas & Electrity.
Over the last 3yrs I have gradually seen my monthly direct debits go up significantly (totally understand that energy prices have gone up too).
I currently live in a four bedroom detached property (traditional 1930's old build). As you can see from the below usage figures, I do use a reasonable amount of energy.
I have recently seen my combined gas and electric monthly direct debit go upto £194 per month.
Gas annual - 1000 units used (2035 last August'08) now 2930
Electric annual - 54711 last August'08 - 61774 = 7000 units for the year
Premier plus dual fuel - no standing charge
Can anyone recommend other utility companies based on my usage?
Notes:
My combi boiler is over 10yrs old
The house generally doesnt insolate very well (even with cavity wall installation) - so heating is on a regularly basis during winter.
