Advice please.....

Just moved into a rented property which we rent through a an agent.
the property is a 2 bed,victorian mid terrece, with gas central heating.
Just setting up our gas/electic suppliers (british gas & npower) via monthly direct debit.
British gas have said for our type of property we should be paying £45 per month over the year and npower have said £50 per month over the year.
Im a complete novice when it comes to this as previously my rented accomadation was all electric and on a pre payment card/key thing.
i just feel that these prices are way over what we will be using?

Anyone give me some pointers or help??

You'll be much better off moving away from seperate suppliers in most cases by switching them and getting a dual fuel tariff. If you moved it all over to Npower you'll get a £100 per year discount by paying by direct debit. If you switched it all over to BG you'll get a lower per unit tariff. You need to know what you use so after a few weeks read the meters again and estimate what you might use over a year then compare and switch. The numbers £45 and £50 are just numbers out of thin air based on national averages. You might use less or more.
