Share data between components using a service in Angular2

camaron is right. Your mistake is that you declare UtilityService twice:

1. Once in the providers of SearchComponent.
2. Once in the providers of TransferComponent.

You should declare the service ONLY ONCE to make sure both components get the same instance. For this you can choose between either of these options:

1. Declare the service in the providers of a @NgModule which has both SearchComponent and TransferComponent in its declarations. 9 times out of 10 this is the right solution!
2. Declare the service in the providers of a @Component which is a parent of both SearchComponent and TransferComponent. This might not be feasible depending how your component tree looks.

Following option #1, you end up with:

@NgModule({
  imports: [CommonModule, ...],

  // Look, the components injecting the service are here:
  declarations: [SearchComponent, TransferComponent, ...],

  // Look, the service is declared here ONLY ONCE:
  providers: [UtilityService, ...]
})
export class SomeModule { }

Then inject UtilityService in your components’ constructors WITHOUT REDECLARING IT in the components’s providers:

@Component({
  selector: 'foo',
  template: '...',
  providers: []  // DO NOT REDECLARE the service here
})
export class SearchComponent {
  constructor(private utilityService: UtilityService) { }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'bar',
  template: '...',
  providers: []  // DO NOT REDECLARE the service here
})
export class TransferComponent {
  constructor(private utilityService: UtilityService) { }
}
