Pre-paid to standard/credit meter

Morning,
My property was fitted with pre-paid gas & electricity meters by the previous owner/landlord, before we bought it. We want to change them on to a 'standard/credit' meter, and are currently looking at switching energy suppliers as well. Our current supplier (Boost energy) only provides for pre-paid meters, apparently.
When looking at quotes, through sites such as USwitch, Which, and directly on supplier sites, they don't give an option to include changing the meters as part of the quote. Before I start ringing around places, has anyone had any experience of changing from pre-paid meters when switching suppliers?
Many thanks.

You can't do both at once; it needs to be sequential. Entirely up to you which order you adopt.
Boost are the prepayment trading style of Ovo.
