Not sure we ever use the term in the singular. These are sometimes described as "mains services" if referring to the incoming gas, electricity, water and telephone supplies and mains drainage, but just "services" for the equipment, cables, pipes etc. inside the house or including the incoming supplies as well. The designers are referred to as Services Engineers or Building Services Engineers.
