Switching Energy Companies

Options
Me and my partner are currently on a prepayment meter in our rented property. We have confirmed with the estate agent that it is fine for us to change to a credit meter however what is the best way to do this? Should we change it over with our current electricity provider? Or should we shop around, swap and then change the meter with the new provider? Trying to figure out the best payment plan for us is a nightmare so any help will be greatly received!!!

    Some suppliers are better than others with PAYGO to Credit Meter changes - Can almost guarantee that Brit Gas will say NO
    First try your current supplier if it is not BG, and if a no-go Switch to EDF who more often than not say yes, but with Covid the change won't be done quickly
