Depending how much scope you've got to mess with them I've used http://docs.topshelf-project.com/en/latest/overview/faq.html before and it's pretty good. You write your service as a console app with this wrapping it up. Lets you run from the command line for testing and adds install/uninstall command line flags which do that junk for you.
TopShelf was huge for me. Being able to just debug right in to your service code without doing all that debugger attach (and maybe building in a startup-delay so you can attach the debugger in time). And then using TopShelf to install the service instead of making a Setup/Installer project for all of it.

Unless you need to debug the whole service environment, then this doesn't really help you beyond making installing a little easier.
