Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.

No, heat waves are not electromagnetic waves like light or radio waves. Heat waves refer to long periods of excessively hot weather caused by the sun's radiation warming the Earth's surface. Heat energy is transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation.
Radiation is the type of heat transfer that involves electromagnetic waves. In this process, heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as heat from the sun reaching the Earth, or heat emitted by a fireplace warming a room.
No, electromagnetic waves that are felt as heat are called infrared waves, not radio waves. Radio waves have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths than infrared waves.
The process by which heat is transferred through a vacuum by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
An object that is a good radiator of electromagnetic waves is also a good source of energy (heat,light ...)
The type of heat transfer that travels through space in electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
