Switching options when you have THTC? (Scotland)

We've just bought a house in Scotland that has both a standard electricity meter and THTC (and no gas / oil). I'm not very familiar with this type of service as we're moving up from England, and wondered how to get the best deal.

SSE currently supply the house, and I've gone onto their standard tariff whilst I see if anything better is available.

When I went onto uSwitch to see what might be available, it only offers an 'Economy 7' tick box, no THTC tick box. How can I figure out what alternatives might be available? Thanks so much!

    No one else will take on a THTC system. Your only options are to convert to something like E7 or E10 metering which may involve wiring changes at your cost then you can move supplier or move to a single rate with your existing metering which will be supported by any major supplier but will most likely not be cost effective with your heating requirements.
