Npower Elec and Gas Bill- My bill Expensive or not?

Single Male living in a 2 bed terrace house, combi gas boiler and the heating is never on Feb till October.

Npower have calculated from readings they wanna charge the following:

Gas £59 per month
Elec £32 per month

Previously I have paid £35 for gas and £12 for elec and always been in credit?

This seems way to expensive? Can I haggle them down? Think I'm on online 14 tarriff.

    Yes, you can haggle the size of your debits. If you have your annual useage, work out what you think they should be charging and tell them. They do not need to play long, though.

    Remember there's an extra £4.50 per month on each fuel to pay. And you are expected to build up a fund May to Oct to pay for your winter useage.

    Work out your last 12 months usage at todays prices add on any debt from previous bill then divide by 12, that will give you a rough idea.
