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.
