Help with changing from pre-payment

I hope someone can help.
We are currently with Ebico and have PPMs for gas and electricity. There is no debt on the gas as we and a small amount on the electricity (about £22 which is being paid at £5 a week so nearly paid off)

I have contacted Ebico who are happy to change us to a credit meter and set up a direct debit for us for the gas. Not sure what to do next, should we wait another month then the electricity will be paid off and switch them both to normal meters at the same time? And do we stay with our current supplier or look at switching? Will we notice a big difference when we come off the PPMs anyway or are prices not that different? Sorry to sound clueless but we have these PPMs for such a long time, I have no idea what the alternatives are!

    I believe Ebico charge the same for both types of meters. They also do not give DD discounts so it's up to you to decide if you want to change suppliers.
