You forget to enable timer by setting:

IntervalTimer.Enabled = true;

or calling Start method:

IntervalTimer.Start();

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
    // Set up the timer...
    IntervalTimer.Interval = Properties.Settings.Default.PollingFreqInSec * 1000;
    // Start the timer and wait for the next work to be released...
    IntervalTimer.Start();
}
